I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation
failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate at
all. I can't think of a good reason for boot-allocation to behave
significantly different to runtime-allocation.

This could be a seperate patch just for consideration in isolation but I
for one have no problem with it. If you split out this patch, feel free
to add an Ack from me.
OK.  If this series doesn't fly--e.g., we take another approach--I will
definitely split this out.  If Andrew wants it separate for the change
log, I can do that as well.
Can't be bothered, really.  If you think the fix might be useful to
someone running a 2.6.31 or earlier kernel then yes, it would be polite
to split out a minimal backportable fix?
