From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Taking pages out from the direct map and bringing them back may create undesired fragmentation and usage of the smaller pages in the direct mapping of the physical memory. This can be avoided if a significantly large area of the physical memory would be reserved for secretmem purposes at boot time. Add ability to reserve physical memory for secretmem at boot time using "secretmem" kernel parameter and then use that reserved memory as a global pool for secret memory needs.
