[PATCH -v3 08/14] x86, mm: set memblock initial limit to 1M

[Yinghai Lu]

memblock_x86_fill() could double memory array.
and we set max_pfn_mapped to 512M, so memory array could be around 512M.
So kdump will not get big range (like 512M) under 1024M.

Try to put it down under 1M, it could use about 4k or so.

Also we need this one when we try to only map ram range only later.
if the early double the range near 512M, and later init_mem_mapping()
first several range could under 512M, then after mapping get reset,
we will lose access the memblock memory array. but we are using
memblock memory array for iteration.
