[PATCH 2/2] arm64: add support for 43bit physical address

From: Nikunj Kela
Date: Mon Jul 02 2018 - 17:14:19 EST


This patch adds support for 43bit physical address. Additionally,
this patch adds support for 27bit section size. This is useful in
reducing kernel memory usage. One usecase is in kdump kernel.
