Re: [PATCH 1/2] sparc32: switch to NO_BOOTMEM

[Sam Ravnborg]

Hi Mike.

A nice simplification of the arch code - with a potential to do much more.
Some review comments, see the following.

Variable definitions here, but assignments after definitions.
And sort the variable definitions as inverse christmas tree.
(Longest line first, sorter alpabetically if same length)

No reason to use "0UL" for simple zero assignments.

This parts looks OK.
You add the memory blocks to memblock that are relevant, and
ignore the block above a possible limit from the command
line (cmdline_memory_size).

OK, this is a bootmem artifact.

This change looked un-related, but you need high_pages later. OK

This is a reformatting of a comment but you remove the "bootmap" reference.
Please reformat comment to saprc style. No empty "/*" so it should look like this:
	/* Now have to check initial ramdisk, so that it won't pass
	 * the end of memory
	 */

Good to see all this code gone.

Can we do this simpler?
memblock knows the amount of memory not reserved.
So we can ask memblock for the amount of non-reserved memory
at the end of this function and then we have the result.
Then we do not have to maintain pages_avail in the following code.

This is a pure white space change, but leave it in.
