[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] mips/malta: load the initrd at the end of the low memory

[Aurelien Jarno]

Currently the malta board is loading the initrd just after the kernel.
This doesn't work for kaslr enabled kernels, as the initrd ends-up being
overwritten.

Move the initrd at the end of the low memory, that should leave a
sufficient gap for kaslr.
