MIPS: Octeon: Select CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Current Octeon systems do in fact have holes in their memory zones.
We need to select HOLES_IN_ZONE.  If we do not, some memory
configurations will result in crashes at boot time like this:

CPU 6 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000000700000, epc == ffffffff8118fe00, ra == ffffffff8118fe9c
Oops[#1]:
Cpu 6
