[PATCH v6 0/5] sparse_init rewrite

[Pavel Tatashin]

Changelog:
v6 - v5
	- Removed one more obsolete function, as Oscar noticed
	- Replaced BUG_ON with WARN_ON, ALIGN with PTR_ALIGN.
	- Added review-by, and test-by.

v5 - v4
	- Fixed the issue that was reported on ppc64 when
	  CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER is removed
	- Consolidated the new buffer allocation between vmemmap
	  and non-vmemmap variants of sparse layout.
	- Removed all review-by comments, because I had to do
	  significant amount of changes compared to previous version
	  and need another round of review.
	- I also would appreciate if those who reported problems with
	  PPC64 could test this change.
v4 - v3
	- Addressed comments from Dave Hansen
v3 - v1
	- Fixed two issues found by Baoquan He
v1 - v2
	- Addressed comments from Oscar Salvador

In sparse_init() we allocate two large buffers to temporary hold usemap and
memmap for the whole machine. However, we can avoid doing that if we
changed sparse_init() to operated on per-node bases instead of doing it on
the whole machine beforehand.

As shown by Baoquan
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180628062857.29658-1-bhe@xxxxxxxxxx

The buffers are large enough to cause machine stop to boot on small memory
systems.

Another benefit of these changes is that they also obsolete
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER.

Pavel Tatashin (5):
  mm/sparse: abstract sparse buffer allocations
  mm/sparse: use the new sparse buffer functions in non-vmemmap
  mm/sparse: move buffer init/fini to the common place
  mm/sparse: add new sparse_init_nid() and sparse_init()
  mm/sparse: delete old sparse_init and enable new one
