Re: [[PATCH]] mips: Fix switch to NO_BOOTMEM for SGI-IP27/loongons3 NUMA

[éåæ]

Hi,

It seems the patch below can solve many problems after switched to NO_BOOTMEM, because the memory allocation behavior is more similar as before.

Then, apparently, I've missed something else.
The Onyx2 I worked on is dead for a couple of years now ;-)

Should have been PHYS_PFN, sorry.
