There are code change in x86/x86_64 arch directory to convert from bootmem.c
to nobootmem.c, so you can't simply comment out NO_BOOTMEM Kconfig item.
There are differences in APIs for bootmem.c and nobootmem.c.
For example, free_low_memory_core_early() is only provided by nobootmem.c
and init_bootmem_node() is only provided by bootmem.c.
Thanks!
