[PATCH 4/5] printk: use alloc_bootmem() instead of memblock_alloc().

From: Avery Pennarun <hidden>
Date: 2012-03-13 05:45:09
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The code in setup_log_buf() had two memory allocation branches, depending
on the value of 'early'.  If early==1, it would use memblock_alloc(); if
early==0, it would use alloc_bootmem_nopanic().

bootmem should already configured by the time setup_log_buf(early=1) is
called, so there's no reason to have the separation.  Furthermore, on
arches with nobootmem, memblock_alloc is essentially the same as
alloc_bootmem anyway.  x86 is one such arch, and also the only one
that uses early=1.
