The pg_data_t node structures and their initialization currently depends on
!CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK. Since they are required only for DISCONTIGMEM
make this dependency explicit and replace usage of
CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK with CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM where appropriate.
The CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK was implicitly disabled on the ColdFire MMU
variant, although it always presumed a single memory bank. As there is no
actual need for DISCONTIGMEM in this case, make sure that ColdFire MMU
systems set CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK to 'y'.

Thanks for your patch!

Is there any specific reason you didn't convert the checks for
CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK in arch/m68k/kernel/setup_mm.c
In arch/m68k/kernel/setup_mm.c the CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK is needed
for the case when a system has two banks, the kernel is loaded into the
second bank and so the first bank cannot be used as normal memory. It
does not matter what memory model will be used in this case.
That case used to be detected just fine at run time (by dint of the
second memory chunk having an address below the first; the chunk the
kernel resides in is always listed first), even without using
CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK.
Unless you changed that behaviour (and I see nothing in your patch that
would indicate that), this is still true.
Converting the check as Geert suggested, without also adding a test for
out-of-order memory bank addresses, would implicitly treat DISCONTIGMEM
as SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK, regardless of bank ordering. I don't think that
is what we really want?
Cheers,
Michael
and arch/m68k/include/asm/virtconvert.h?
I remember I had build errors and troubles with include file
dependencies if I changed it there, but I might be mistaken. I'll
recheck again.
