powerpc/fsl-booke: Make CAM entries used for lowmem configurable
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On booke processors, the code that maps low memory only uses up to three
CAM entries, even though there are sixteen and nothing else uses them.

Make this number configurable in the advanced options menu along with max
low memory size.  If one wants 1 GB of lowmem, then it's typically
necessary to have four CAM entries.

help
This option allows you to set the maximum number of CAM slots that
will be used to map low memory. There are a limited number of slots
available and even more limited number that will fit in the L1 MMU.
However, using more entries will allow mapping more low memory. This
can be useful in optimizing the layout of kernel virtual memory.

Say N here unless you know what you are doing.
