[parisc-linux] not freeing initmem?

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

>From my dmesg output of the recent 2.4.18-pa3:

...
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
NOT FREEING INITMEM (351k)
Adding Swap: 124800k swap-space (priority -1)
EXT3 FS 2.4-0.9.17, 10 Jan 2002 on sd(8,3), internal journal
...

What does that mean? Why is the memory not freed on PA-RISC, but freed
on x86?

On my x86 box:

...
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 224k freed
EXT3 FS 2.4-0.9.17, 10 Jan 2002 on ide0(3,2), internal journal
Real Time Clock Driver v1.10e
