[Part1 PATCH v5 00/22] x86, ACPI, numa: Parse numa info earlier

[Tang Chen]

From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx>

No offence, just rebase and resend the patches from Yinghai to help
to push this functionality faster.
Also improve the comments in the patches' log.


One commit that tried to parse SRAT early get reverted before v3.9-rc1.

|    acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready

It broke several things, like acpi override and fall back path etc.

This patchset is clean implementation that will parse numa info early.
1. keep the acpi table initrd override working by split finding with copying.
   finding is done at head_32.S and head64.c stage,
        in head_32.S, initrd is accessed in 32bit flat mode with phys addr.
        in head64.c, initrd is accessed via kernel low mapping address
        with help of #PF set page table.
   copying is done with early_ioremap just after memblock is setup.
2. keep fallback path working. numaq and ACPI and amd_nmua and dummy.
   seperate initmem_init to two stages.
   early_initmem_init will only extract numa info early into numa_meminfo.
   initmem_init will keep slit and emulation handling.
3. keep other old code flow untouched like relocate_initrd and initmem_init.
   early_initmem_init will take old init_mem_mapping position.
   it call early_x86_numa_init and init_mem_mapping for every nodes.
   For 64bit, we avoid having size limit on initrd, as relocate_initrd
   is still after init_mem_mapping for all memory.
4. last patch will try to put page table on local node, so that memory
   hotplug will be happy.

In short, early_initmem_init will parse numa info early and call
init_mem_mapping to set page table for every nodes's mem.

and it is based on today's Linus tree.

-v2: Address tj's review and split patches to small ones.
-v3: Add some Acked-by from tj, also stop abusing cpio_data for acpi_files info
-v4: fix one typo found by Tang Chen.
     Also added tested-by from Thomas Renninger and Tony.
-v5: Rebase to Linux-3.10.0-rc5 (patch 5 and 21 has been rebased)
     Improve comments in patches' log.
     Improve comment in init_mem_mapping() in patch21.
