yes, it looks right when I quickly glanced over it. I haven't checked
deeply yet. I would suggest reposting and adding more *bootmem people
into CC (e.g. Johannes Weiner, Yinghai Lu, Tejun Heo and maybe others).

I mentioned powerpc basically because I encountered it as the only
alternative implementation of alloc_bootmem_huge_page. I haven't checked
how it does the job and now that I am looking closer it uses memblock
allocator so it would need a separate fix.
I guess you are right saying that this should be handled when the need
arises.

You need to update alloc_bootmem_bdata and alloc_bootmem_core as well.
Otherwise this is a no-op for early allocations when slab is not
available which is the case unless something is broken.
Michal,
Does this do what you would expect?
yes, it looks right when I quickly glanced over it. I haven't checked
deeply yet. I would suggest reposting and adding more *bootmem people
into CC (e.g. Johannes Weiner, Yinghai Lu, Tejun Heo and maybe others).
I compiled this for ia64, but I have not tested it at all.

Does this do what you would expect? I compiled this for ia64, but I

Ohh, and powerpc seems to have its own opinion how to allocate huge
pages. See arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c

Do I need to address their allocations? Can I leave that part of the
changes as something powerpc can address if they are affected by this?

You need to update alloc_bootmem_bdata and alloc_bootmem_core as well.
Otherwise this is a no-op for early allocations when slab is not
available which is the case unless something is broken.
Michal,
Does this do what you would expect? I compiled this for ia64, but I
have not tested it at all.
