[RFC] [PATCH] virtual memmap on sparsemem v3 [3/4] static virtualmem_map

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Fri Dec 08 2006 - 02:04:06 EST


This patch adds support for statically allocated virtual mem_map.
(means virtual address of mem_map array is defined statically.)
This removes reference to *(&mem_map).

But this consumes huge amount of virtual memory(not physical).
This option is selectable only if your arch supports it.
