From 74cbb839838d770064f0c83010609a134b22f2f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeenu Viswambharan Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:26:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Move translation tables into separate section This patch moves the translation tables into their own section. This saves space that would otherwise have been lost in padding due to page table alignment constraints. The BL31 and BL32 bases have been consequently adjusted.
