Hello Mike,
I haven't read your patch text yet. I am waiting for the subsystem maintainers response at least
about the necessity to have this type of changes being merged into the sources (I mean
memblock/no-bootmem alteration). If they find it pointless (although I would strongly disagree), then
nothing to discuss. Otherwise we can come up with a solution.

So, what would be the best way to move forward?
