[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 3/3] 85xx/86xx: Ensure MP boot page is not used

Wed Apr 1 22:30:51 CEST 2009


We had a bug on 86xx in which the boot page used to bring up secondary
cores was being overwritten and used for the malloc region in u-boot.

We need to reserve the region of memory that the boot page is going to
be put at so nothing uses it.
