Symptoms
Symptom:
eeprom reports a different value for dr-max-mem than the running kernel.

Resolution
Resolution:
Such a situation is possible if the value of dr-max-mem has been changed
using eeprom, but the domain has yet to be rebooted. For example, a
system is booted with DR enabled. While the domain is up and running,
eeprom dr-max-mem=0 is executed. This updates the eeprom files, but
will not be reflected in the kernel until the next reboot.

Comment: Please elaborate on the following:

* What is the background for dr-max-mem variable? Where is it used? What decision
is it inflencing in the kernel?

* Update how customer can find out if DR is currently enabled in the running system?
And what could inflence this decision - say a contradicting value of dr_mamx_mem
in eeprom.

Thank you,
Kalai
