[PATCH] powerpc: Don't overwrite flat device tree with kdump kernel
It's possible for prom_init to allocate the flat device tree inside the kdump crash kernel region. If this happens, when we load the kdump kernel we overwrite the flattened device tree, which is bad. We could make prom_init try and avoid allocating inside the crash kernel region, but then we run into issues if the crash kernel region uses all the space inside the RMO. The easiest solution is to move the flat device tree once we're running in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
