From a7da1081d1ee403464ce1f4fbda5c084cfb868df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Chris (Christopher) Brand" Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 16:31:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xen: arm: Document xenheap_megabytes limitation In setup_mm(), the value passed as xenheap_megabytes gets converted to pages and passed to setup_xenheap_mappings(), which in turn passes it to create_32mb_mappings(), which contains an ASSERT that the value passed is a multiple of 32MB. So specifying any value that is not an integer multiple of 32 will cause Xen to hit this assert and fail to boot.
