New Revision: 305096
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/305096

Log:
  Some old arm ports don't load the kernel at the beginning of the memory,
  because the bootloader, ie redboot, won't let them do so, and so used the
  memory before the kernel for early memory allocation, such as pagetables,
  stacks, etc...
  Make a bit of an effort to try to get that memory mapped.
