Scott, Andy: I think I remember that some architectures really _need_ LMB - can you please shed a bit ligh on which these are, and why? And why it is enabled everywhere?
Also, any information about the underlying design, intended memory map etc. would be highly welcome.
CCing Kumar, who added a lot of the lmb stuff -- but it looks like ramdisk copying predated lmb.
Indeed it does. It even predates U-Boot. The question is what the actual design of LMB is, i. e. why it is implemented the way it is.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
