Hello Serge,

Almost a year ago I sent a patchset to the Linux MIPS community. The main target of the patchset
was to get rid from the old bootmem allocator usage at the MIPS architecture. Additionally I had
a problem with CMA usage on my MIPS machine due to some struct page-related issue. Moving to the
memblock allocator fixed the problem and gave us benefits like smaller memory consumption,
powerful memblock API to be used within the arch code.

@alexander.sverdlin@nokia.com. Do you still possess the Octeon MIPS64 platform to test the patchset?
yes, I'd like to test such a serious change on Octeon2. Please include me in the distribution list.
