I might be missing something but don't we have the same problem with
CONFIG_FLATMEM? page_ext_init_flatmem is called way earlier. Or
CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is never enabled for CONFIG_FLATMEM?
Yes, CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG which
depends on SPARSEMEM. So, this config is not valid for FLATMEM at all.
Well
config MEMORY_HOTPLUG
bool "Allow for memory hot-add"
depends on SPARSEMEM || X86_64_ACPI_NUMA
depends on ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
I wasn't really sure about X86_64_ACPI_NUMA dependency branch which
depends on X86_64 && NUMA && ACPI && PCI and that didn't sound like
SPARSEMEM only. If the FLATMEM shouldn't exist with
CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT can we make that explicit please?
