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.=20=20

Few problems in here:

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).

Where did you want that?
