Re: allocating memory at boot

Is there any reason why this isn't a kconfig option?

The memory/RAM related defaults are present in arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h. But you can override them by defining them in /arch/arm/mach-YOURMACHINE/include/mach/memory.h. I think the developers intended to keep it this way so machine specific defines go in machine specific directories, and it will not bloat the kernel config. -syed
