[PATCH 4/8] x86, acpi, brk: Extend BRK 256KB to store acpi override tables.

From: Tang Chen
Date: Wed Aug 21 2013 - 06:20:55 EST


When finding acpi override tables in initrd, we need to allocate memory to
store these tables. But at such an early time, we don't have any memory
allocator. The basic idea is to use BRK.

This patch reserves 256KB in BRK, and allocate it to store override tables,
instead of memblock.

This idea is from Yinghai Lu <yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx>.
