I am OK, if this patch is removed from Baoquan's series. But, I would
still like to get rid of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER, I
can work on this in my sparse_init re-write series. ppc64 should
really fallback safely to small chunks allocs, and if it does not
there is some existing bug. Michael please send the config that you
used.
Thank you,
Pavel

This seems to be breaking my powerpc pseries qemu boots.
The boot log with some extra debug shows eg:
$ make pseries_le_defconfig
Could you please share the config?
I was not able to find such config in the kernel tree.
