Hi,
this patch makes OFW read the size of installed RAM from the LinuxBIOS table instead of fetching it from mem-info-pa.
This nicely replaces my ugly hack. The only 2 qestions remaining are how a loaded Linux kernel gets the memory info: via LB-Tables or OFW devtree? Preferably both possible ways, I'd say. Weren't there patches on LKML ages ago? And the other is about memory > 4GB: lb-memsize accepts 64-bit addresses?
But good work nonetheless!
