This series allows numa aware allocations for various early data
structures for radix. Hash still has a bolted SLB limitation that
prevents at least pacas and stacks from node-affine allocations.

Fixed up a number of bugs, got pSeries working, added a couple more
cases where page tables can be allocated node-local.  

Few problems in here:

FAILURE kernel-build-linux » powerpc,gcc_ubuntu_be,pmac32
  arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c:748:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'allocate_paca_ptrs' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

FAILURE kernel-build-linux » powerpc,gcc_ubuntu_le,powernv
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:49:33: error: 'struct paca_struct' has no member named 'lppaca_ptr'
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:49:33: error: 'struct paca_struct' has no member named 'lppaca_ptr'

Did I miss a follow-up or something?

Here's a patch that applies to "powerpc/64: defer paca allocation
until memory topology is discovered". The first hunk fixes the ppc32
issue, and the second hunk avoids freeing the cpu_to_phys_id array
if the platform didn't allocate it. But I've just realized that
should go into the previous patch (which is missing the
memblock_free).
