Re: free_initmem() bug

flat view

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <hidden>

free_initmem() must not be __init because that means sawing the branch
underneat itselves, which may cause a crash.

I also optimized the freeing of the various sections, both from a soure and
object view.

The patch is half tested, i.e. it compiles. Since I won't be able to do
bk for
a while, can someone please take care of this? Thanks!
Ah, this might explain some problems I had with 2.4 hangs on freeing init
mem...
