Re: [PATCH] mm: meminit: Finish initialisation of struct pages before basic setup

[nzimmer]

Well I did get in some tests yesterday afternoon.  And with some simple 
timers found that occasionally it took huge amount of time in this 
snippit at the top of
static int __init deferred_init_memmap(void *data)

       /* Bind memory initialisation thread to a local node if possible */
       if (!cpumask_empty(cpumask))
               set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);

I am assuming that the it is getting caught up in set_cpus_allowed_ptr 
not the cpumask_empty.
I have more machine time today and will make sure I have all those patches.
