The code in setup_log_buf() had two memory allocation branches, depending on the value of 'early'. If early==1, it would use memblock_alloc(); if early==0, it would use alloc_bootmem_nopanic(). bootmem should already configured by the time setup_log_buf(early=1) is called, so there's no reason to have the separation. Furthermore, on arches with nobootmem, memblock_alloc is essentially the same as alloc_bootmem anyway. x86 is one such arch, and also the only one that uses early=1.
