The former is now strict, it will fail if it cannot honor the allocation
within the node, while the later implements the previous semantic which
falls back to allocating anywhere.

We now provide a default (weak) implementation of memblock_nid_range()
which uses the early_pfn_map[] if CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP
is set. Sparc still needs to use its own method due to the way
the pages can be scattered between nodes.
This implementation is inefficient due to our main algorithm and
callback construct wanting to work on an ascending addresses bases
while early_pfn_map[] would rather work with nid's (it's unsorted
at that stage). But it should work and we can look into improving
it subsequently, possibly using arch compile options to chose a
different algorithm alltogether.

To constraint the search of a region between two boundaries,
which will be used by the new NUMA aware allocator among others.

Some archs such as ARM want to avoid coalescing accross things such
as the lowmem/highmem boundary or similar. This provides the option
to control it via an arch callback for which a weak default is provided
which always allows coalescing.

When one of the array gets full, we resize it. After much thinking and
a few iterations of that code, I went back to on-demand resizing using
the (new) internal memblock_find_base() function, which is pretty much what
Yinghai initially proposed, though there some differences in the details.
To work this relies on the default alloc limit being set sensibly by
the architecture.

Some shuffling is needed for doing array resize so we may as well
put some sense into the ordering of the functions in the whole memblock.c
file. No code change. Added some comments.

This will be used by the array resize code and might prove useful
to some arch code as well at which point it can be made non-static.
Also add comment as to why aligning size is important

This function will be used to locate a free area to put the new memblock
arrays when attempting to resize them. memblock_alloc_region() is gone,
the two callsites now call memblock_add_region().

Since we allocate one more than needed, why not do a bit of sanity checking
here to ensure we don't walk past the end of the array ?

their size a variable
This is in preparation for having resizable arrays.
Note that we still allocate one more than needed, this is unchanged from
the previous implementation.

Right now, both the "memory" and "reserved" memblock_type structures have
a "size" member. It represents the calculated memory size in the former
case and is unused in the latter.
This moves it out to the main memblock structure instead

The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact
server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes)
and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode
(aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which
is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing.
We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into
arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations
from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE).
The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still
be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere.
It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears.
Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I
strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit
during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time
results in something that is accessible with a simple __va().
The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for
the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will
honor the current limit when performing those allocations.

To make it fast, we steal ARM's binary search for memblock_is_memory()
and we use that to also the replace existing implementation of
memblock_is_reserved().

All callers expect a boolean result which is true if the region
overlaps a reserved region. However, the implementation actually
returns -1 if there is no overlap, and a region index (0 based)
if there is.
Make it behave as callers (and common sense) expect.

FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \

$FILES
for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g')
mv $N $M
done
and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.
also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/
