Subject: [S390] nss: Free unused memory in kernel image.
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>
[S390] nss: Free unused memory in kernel image.
With CONFIG_SHARED_KERNEL the kernel text segment that might be in a
read only memory sections starts at 1MB. Memory between 0x12000 and
0x100000 is unused then. Free this, so we have appr. an extra MB
of memory available.
