Subject: x86: use brk allocation for DMI
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6de6cb442e76bbaf2e685150be8ddac0f237a59c;p=linux-beck.git

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.
