The patch titled
kexec/i386: allocate page table pages dynamically
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kexec-i386-allocate-page-table-pages-dynamically.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kexec/i386: allocate page table pages dynamically
From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>
Add an architecture specific struct kimage_arch into struct kimage. The
pointers to page table pages used by kexec are added to struct
kimage_arch. The page tables pages are dynamically allocated in
machine_kexec_prepare instead of statically from BSS segment. This will
save up to 20k memory when kexec image is not loaded.
