[patch 006/198] arm: add comment about max_low_pfn/max_pfn

From: akpm
Date: Tue Apr 12 2005 - 20:14:36 EST



From: Russell King <rmk+lkml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Oddly, max_low_pfn/max_pfn end up being the number of pages in the system,
rather than the maximum PFN on ARM. This doesn't seem to cause any problems,
so just add a note about it.
