[ RESEND PATCH v3] Memory-Hotplug: Fix the bug on interface/dev/mem for 64-bit kernel

From: Zheng, Shaohui
Date: Tue Jan 12 2010 - 02:47:17 EST


Resend the v3 patch after reviewed by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki. We still keep the
Old e820map, update variable max_pfn, max_low_pfn and high_memory only.
It is dependent on Fenguang's page_is_ram patch.

Memory-Hotplug: Fix the bug on interface /dev/mem for 64-bit kernel

The new added memory can not be access by interface /dev/mem, because we do not
update the variable high_memory, max_pfn and max_low_pfn.

Memory hotplug still has critical issues for 32-bit kernel, and it is more
important for 64-bit kernel, we fix it on 64-bit first. We add a function
update_end_of_memory_vars in file arch/x86/mm/init.c to update these variables.
