[PATCH 1/13] ia64: parse kernel parameter hugepagesz= in early boot

[Mel Gorman]

Subject: ia64: parse kernel parameter hugepagesz= in early boot

Parse hugepagesz with early_param() instead of __setup().  __setup()
is called after the memory allocator has been initialised and the
pageblock bitmaps already setup.  In tests on one IA64 there did not
seem to be any problem with using early_param() and in fact may be
more correct as it guarantees the parameter is handled before the
parsing of hugepages=.
