Re: [v3 9/9] s390: teach platforms not to zero struct pages memory

Hi Heiko,

Thank you for looking at this patch. I am worried to make the proposed change, because, as I understand in this case we allocate memory not for "struct page"s but for table that hold them. So, we will change the behavior from the current one, where this table is allocated zeroed, but now it won't be zeroed.
