[PATCHv3 01/13] mm, sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for SPARSEMEM_EXTREME

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Mon Aug 07 2017 - 10:15:07 EST


Size of mem_section array depends on size of physical address space.

In preparation for boot-time switching between paging modes on x86-64
we need to make allocation of mem_section dynamic.

The patch allocates the array on the first call to
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions().
