This is a great simplification of boot process. Thank you Mike! I agree, with Michal in the future, once nobootmem kernel stabalizes after this effort, we should start simplifying memblock allocator API: it won't be as big effort as this one, as I think, that can be done in incremental phases, but it will help to make early boot much more stable and uniform across arches. Thank you, Pavel
