Since the stack allocations happen now (for the sake of setting up the NUMA mappings) after bootmem init, it's prudent to use the alloc_bootmem interfaces. Not only visually, but syntactically as it provides: 1) fallbacks to non-NUMA allocations when NUMA node specific allocations fail. 2) a virtual pointer to zero'd memory so we don't need that __va() and memset crap -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
