Hello folks,

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.

@marcin.nowakowski@imgtec.com. Could you confirm if you are still interested in the patchset and
ready to update the Loongson64 platform code so one would be compatible with it?

I am currently working on different projects, but I will try to do my best
to help with this (but just might require more time than I would otherwise
need).
Given the scale of the task and the amount of testing required, I expect
that it will take a while to get a complete set of patches reviewed and
tested which should hopefully be enough to fix support for all platforms
affected.

Hello Marcin,
Thanks for the willing to help. I'll CC the patchset to you when it's ready.
