Hmmm....could you rewrite /dev/mem to use kernel/resource.c other than
modifing e820 maps. ?
Sorry but responding to bug fixes with "could you please rewrite ..." is
not considered fair. Shaohui is just trying to fix a bug here, not redesigning
a subsystem.
Two reasons.
- e820map is considerted to be stable, read-only after boot.
- We don't need to add more x86 special codes.
We need working memory hotadd.
