Add a more versatile memmap= operator, which -- in addition to all the things that were possible before -- allows you to: - redeclare existing ranges -- before, you were limited to adding ranges; - drop any range -- like a mem= for any location; - use any e820 memory type -- not just some predefined ones. The syntax is: memmap=<size>%<offset>-<oldtype>+<newtype> Size and offset work as usual. The "-<oldtype>" and "+<newtype>" are optional and their existence determine the behavior: The command works on the specified range of memory limited to type <oldtype> (if specified). This memory is then configured to show up as <newtype>. If <newtype> is not specified, the memory is removed from the e820 map. Signed-off-by: Jan H.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
