[patch 2/3] Introduce BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE
From: Bernhard Walle
Date: Tue Oct 16 2007 - 12:30:05 EST
This flag changes the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with
-EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to
avoid conflicts.
IMPORTANT: The patch is only proof of concept. This means that it's only for
x86 and breaks other architectures. If the patch is ok, I'll change all other
architectures, too.
