Linus Lüssing b9b4bf504c ARM: dts: meson8b: add reserved memory zone to fix silent freezes
So far, the stress-ng tool for instance quickly resulted in a silent
freeze of the system with no prior notice on a serial console when
running its filesystem or memory stressor classes.

Even with a panic-on-OOM and reboot-on-panic (vm.panic_on_oom=1,
kernel.panic=10) configured, the system would neither reboot nor
would the OOM killer get any chance to otherwise do its job.

The Amlogic reference source code uses a 2MB PHYS_OFFSET. With these 2MB
reserved via DT, stress-ng was able to run on an Odroid C1+ just fine for
several hours, the OOM killer was able to kill processes again and if
configured would successfully trigger a reboot of the system.

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.
