The following commit has been merged in the linux branch: commit 657e12fd388899502d47f9f6f9d276ec9ced8add Author: Russell King rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk Date: Thu Oct 29 17:06:17 2009 +0000
ARM: Fix sparsemem with SPARSEMEM_EXTREME enabled
When SPARSEMEM_EXTREME is enabled, memory_present() wants to use bootmem to allocate data structures. However, we call memory_present() after declaring memory to bootmem, but before we've reserved areas.
This leads to sparsemem data structures being overwritten later in the kernel's initialization (when slab initializes.)
