[PATCH] ppc64: allocate NUMA node data node locally
Instead of statically allocating the NUMA node structures, do it at runtime with node local memory where possible. With NR_CPUS=128 we had over 800kB of memory allocated before this patch, now we allocate only as many nodes as the machine requires. We have to do some fancy footwork in do_init_bootmem since we use both the LMB allocator and the bootmem allocator at the same time. The problem has always been there although I only recently found a test case that hit it. Wrap that logic in careful_allocation which uses the LMB allocator then falls back to the bootmem allocator if required. Now alloc_bootmem on a node with no memory doesnt panic, we dont need the hack in paging_init so remove it.
