Re: Patch to reorder functions in the vmlinux to a defined order

The same should be true on x86, btw. Where we should use a physical start address of 4MB for best performance.

Does 16MB still work? Gets the kernel out of the old ZONE_DMA. I suppose not many people are really using that anyway anymore these days, but if no downsides maybe?

Also, did the kernel still boot on a 4M machine, and would it still do so with the change to 4M as posted? 2.4 used to boot fine with 4M. Not certain anymore if I ever tested that with 2.6 (and can't right now).
