Commit 73fbc1eba7ff ("MIPS: fix mem=X@Y commandline processing") added a
fix to ensure that the memory range between PHYS_OFFSET and low memory
address specified by mem= cmdline argument is not later processed by
free_all_bootmem. This change was incorrect for systems where the
commandline specifies more than 1 mem argument, as it will cause all
memory between PHYS_OFFSET and each of the memory offsets to be marked
as reserved, which results in parts of the RAM marked as reserved
(Creator CI20's u-boot has a default commandline argument 'mem=256M@0x0
mem=768M@0x30000000').
Change the behaviour to ensure that only the range between PHYS_OFFSET
and the lowest start address of the memories is marked as protected.
This change also ensures that the range is marked protected even if it's
only defined through the devicetree and not only via commandline
arguments.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
