From 6de6cb442e76bbaf2e685150be8ddac0f237a59c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 13:35:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86: use brk allocation for DMI Impact: use new interface instead of previous ad hoc implementation Use extend_brk() to allocate memory for DMI rather than having an ad-hoc allocator.
