The FDT is mapped via a fixmap entry that is at least 2 MB in size and 2 MB aligned on 4 KB page size kernels. On UEFI systems, the FDT allocation may share this 2 MB mapping with a reserved region (or another memory region that we should never map), unless we account for this in the size of the allocation (the alignment is already 2 MB) So instead of taking guesses at the needed space, simply allocate 2 MB immediately. The allocation will be recorded as EFI_LOADER_DATA, and the kernel only memblock_reserve()'s the actual size of the FDT, so the unused space will be released back to the kernel.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
