[PATCH] x86: enable VMSPLIT for highmem kernels
The current VMSPLIT Kconfig option is disabled whenever highmem is on. This is a bit screwy because the people who need to change VMSPLIT the most tend to be the ones with highmem and constrained lowmem. So, remove the highmem dependency. But, re-include the dependency for the "full 1GB of lowmem" option. You can't have the full 1GB of lowmem and highmem because of the need for the vmalloc(), kmap(), etc... areas. I thought there would be at least a bit of tweaking to do to get it to work, but everything seems OK. Boot tested on a 4GB x86 machine, and a 12GB 3-node NUMA-Q: elm3b82:~# cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 3695412 kB MemFree: 3659540 kB ...
