This is the x86 implementation of the crashkernel option.  It reserves a
window of memory very early in the bootup process, so we never use it for
anything but the kernel to switch to when the running kernel panics.

In addition to reserving this memory a resource structure is registered so
looking at /proc/iomem it is clear what happened to that memory.

ISSUES:
Is it possible to implement this in a architecture generic way?
What should be done with architectures that always use an iommu and
thus don't report their RAM memory resources in /proc/iomem?

* EXPORT_SYMBOL's moved to other files
* #include <linux/config.h>, <linux/module.h> where needed
* #include's in i386_ksyms.c cleaned up
* After copy-paste, redundant due to Makefiles rules preprocessor directives
  removed:

	#ifdef CONFIG_FOO
	EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
	#endif

	obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o

* Tiny reformat to fit in 80 columns

discontig.c has some assumptions that mem_map[]s inside of a node are
contiguous.  Teach it to make sure that each region that it's bringing online
is actually made up of valid ranges of ram.

Introduce a simple allocator for the NUMA remap space.  This space is very
scarce, used for structures which are best allocated node local.

This mechanism is also used on non-NUMA ia64 systems with a vmem_map to keep
the pgdat->node_mem_map initialized in a consistent place for all
architectures.

Issues:
o alloc_remap takes a node_id where we might expect a pgdat which was intended
  to allow us to allocate the pgdat's using this mechanism; which we do not yet
  do.  Could have alloc_remap_node() and alloc_remap_nid() for this purpose.

The following four patches provide the last needed changes before the
introduction of sparsemem.  For a more complete description of what this
will do, please see this patch:

http://www.sr71.net/patches/2.6.11/2.6.11-bk7-mhp1/broken-out/B-sparse-150-sparsemem.patch

or previous posts on the subject:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110868540700001&r=1&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=109897373315016&w=2

Three of these are i386-only, but one of them reorganizes the macros
used to manage the space in page->flags, and will affect all platforms.
There are analogous patches to the i386 ones for ppc64, ia64, and
x86_64, but those will be submitted by the normal arch maintainers.

The combination of the four patches has been test-booted on a variety of
i386 hardware, and compiled for ppc64, i386, and x86-64 with about 17
different .configs.  It's also been runtime-tested on ia64 configs (with
more patches on top).

This patch:

We _know_ which node pages in general belong to, at least at a very gross
level in node_{start,end}_pfn[].  Use those to target the allocations of
pages.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
