If we are using deferred struct page initialization feature, most of "struct page"es are getting initialized after other CPUs are started, and hence we are benefiting from doing this job in parallel. However, we are still zeroing all the memory that is allocated for "struct pages" using the boot CPU. This patch solves this problem, by deferring zeroing "struct pages" to only when they are initialized on PowerPC platforms.
