[PATCH] alloc_memory_early() routines

[Mike Kravetz]

Add alloc_memory_early() routines so that code needing to allocate
space during boot need not be aware of which allocator is in use.
Includes first use of such routine by the SPARSEMEM code.

I did not include support for 'large' allocations as suggested by
Dave, or corresponding free_memory_early() routines.  The only
immediate need is for NUMA/node aware allocation.  Others can be
added as the needs arise.
