[PATCH: 001/012] Memory hotplug for new nodes v.2. (pgdat allocation)

From: Yasunori Goto
Date: Fri Feb 17 2006 - 08:27:09 EST


This patch is main patch for pgdat allocation for new node.
When, new pgdat is required, kernel allocates memory for it
and initialize it by calling free_area_init_node().

Finally, NODE_DATA() macro can use by registering node_data[] array.
Ia64 needs special code for node_data[], but
node_data[node] = pgdat;
is enough for other archtectures.

To allocate pgdat, this patch use kmalloc() for it.
This means its place is not appropriate.
Kmalloc() will use other node for new pgdat. Because new node's memory
management structure (it means new pgdat) must be initalized ITSELF
for kmalloc.
