malta: move to 4.4 kernel

2016-01-28T22:42:49+00:00

Linux now has device tree support for malta.  The patch for correcting
/proc/iomem content is not needed now.  Previously it was

    root@(none):/# cat /proc/iomem
    00000000-00000fff : reserved
    00001000-000effff : System RAM
    000f0000-000fffff : reserved
    00100000-0fffefff : System RAM
      00100000-003f2b6b : Kernel code
      003f2b6c-00485937 : Kernel data
    ...

Now it's

    root@OpenWrt:/# cat /proc/iomem
    00000000-0fffefff : System RAM
      00100000-004a3297 : Kernel code
      004a3298-0057cfff : Kernel data
    ...

The kernel config was prepared as follows

 1. cp target/linux/malta/config-{3.18,4.4}
 2. make kernel_menuconfig CONFIG_TARGET=subtarget_platform

generic: improve kexec support of MIPS.

2015-02-13T07:29:25+00:00

- Allow --command-line parameters of kexec-tools be parsed and used by
   the kernel.
 - For malta machine, mark kernel code and kernel data segments as
   "System RAM" instead of "reserved" in /proc/iomem, otherwise
   kexec-tools will complain that program segments in ELF kernel file
   are invalid.
