Subject: [PATCH v4 02/10] memblock: Add variables for usable memory limitation
Date:   Wed, 14 Jul 2021 14:50:12 +0200
Message-Id: <04c4d231fb03a3810d72a45c8a5bc2272c5975f3.1626266516.git.geert+renesas@glider.be>

Add two global variables (cap_mem_addr and cap_mem_size) for storing a
base address and size, describing a limited region in which memory may
be considered available for use by the kernel.  If enabled, memory
outside of this range is not available for use.

These variables can by filled by firmware-specific code, and used in
calls to memblock_cap_memory_range() by architecture-specific code.
An example user is the parser of the "linux,usable-memory-range"
property in the DT "/chosen" node.

This is similar to how the initial ramdisk (phys_initrd_{start,size})
and ELF core headers (elfcorehdr_{addr,size})) are handled.

Does there exist a suitable place in the common memblock code to call
"memblock_cap_memory_range(cap_mem_addr, cap_mem_size)", or does this
have to be done in architecture-specific code?

v4:
  - New.
