The original idea is we will allocate everything above the kernel. So the pagetables for [ISA_END_ADDRESS, kernel_end) will be also located above the kernel. > Maybe memory_map_bottom_up() should take extra parameters for where to > allocate page tables at separately from the mapping range and treat it > specially? Would that make the function a lot more complex? Hmmmm...I will try to see if it is complex. Thanks. > > Thanks. > -- Thanks.
