[PATCH] sparsemem base: simple NUMA remap space allocator
Introduce a simple allocator for the NUMA remap space. This space is very
scarce, used for structures which are best allocated node local.
This mechanism is also used on non-NUMA ia64 systems with a vmem_map to keep
the pgdat->node_mem_map initialized in a consistent place for all
architectures.
Issues:
o alloc_remap takes a node_id where we might expect a pgdat which was intended
to allow us to allocate the pgdat's using this mechanism; which we do not yet
do. Could have alloc_remap_node() and alloc_remap_nid() for this purpose.
