Johannes, I'm unsure whether that patch was the final version. Could
you please resend it (or its successor)?

With a more complete changelog, please. This:

bootmem: fix aligning of node-relative indexes and offsets

doesn't explain what needed fixing, nor how it was fixed, nor the
consequences of leaving it unfixed, etc.

Thanks.
