kernel加载运行地址到RAM起始地址间一段内存的作用



kernel/linux-3.10.y/arch/arm/kernel/head.S中有如下一段话可解释这段内存的作用

/*
 * swapper_pg_dir is the virtual address of the initial page table.
 * We place the page tables 16K below KERNEL_RAM_VADDR.  Therefore, we must
 * make sure that KERNEL_RAM_VADDR is correctly set.  Currently, we expect
 * the least significant 16 bits to be 0x8000, but we could probably
 * relax this restriction to KERNEL_RAM_VADDR >= PAGE_OFFSET + 0x4000.
 */

 KERNEL_RAM_VADDR为kernel加载运行地址

另外，在页表之前也会存放uboot传递给kernel的启动参数
