[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] x86: respect memory size limiting via mem= parameter

2019-01-30 Thread Juergen Gross
When limiting memory size via kernel parameter "mem=" this should be respected even in case of memory made accessible via a PCI card. Today this kind of memory won't be made usable in initial memory setup as the memory won't be visible in E820 map, but it might be added when adding PCI devices due
