Not really, no. The only impact is that the architecture-specific parts of the MM's initialisation need to be aware of a few details of the boot process. In particular, they need to know where any initrd ramdisk has been loaded so that they don't try to reuse that memory until the initial ramdisk has been freed. Apart from that, the MM system really knows nothing about booting. Cheers, Stephen -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
