[patch] bootmem-2.3.26-A1

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@chiara.csoma.elte.hu>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 277 bytes --]


this fixes the __va confusion. (the patch does not add RAM testing)

but more importantly, Bjorn Andersson found a bug in bootmem_free(): start
addresses have to be rounded upwards, not downwards. This could expain
some of the booting problems and crashes reported.
