[RFC PATCH 0/3] Cleanup for free_area_init_node / free_area_init_core

From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx>

While trying to cleanup the memhotplug code, I found quite difficult to follow
free_area_init_node / free_area_init_core wrt which functions get called
from the memhotplug path.

This is en effort to try to refactor / cleanup those two functions a little bit,
to make them easier to read.

It compiles, but I did not test it.
I would like to get some feedback to see if it is worth or not.

Oscar Salvador (3):
mm: Make free_area_init_core more readable by moving the ifdefs
mm: Refactor free_area_init_core
mm: Make free_area_init_node call certain functions only when booting
