It kind of irked me that lmb was passed over for whatever vague reason was given. It works fine with memory hotplug on powerpc, so a lack of hotplug support can't be an argument for not using it. But hey, having yet another early memory allocator instead of making one of the existing ones do what you want, that's fine right? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
