[Bug 189269] [NEW] CONFIG_HIMEM4G does not allow 4gb of ram in kernel

[Andrew Barbaccia]

Public bug reported:

This problem occurs in all gutsy -generic kernels and feisty -generic
kernels.

I have a system with 4GB ram installed. The BIOS correctly identifies
all 4GB.

When booting into the -generic kernel only 2GB shows up in
/proc/meminfo. Looking at the kernel configuration CONFIG_HIMEM4G=y is
set so all 4GB should be identified.

After recompiling the -generic kernel with CONFIG_HIMEM64G=y and
removing CONFIG_HIMEM4G=y, /proc/meminfo appropriately displays all 4GB.

This should be fixed as many systems are now shipping with 4GB of ram or
allowing upgrades to 4gb.
