please check the patches regarding with early_res and bootmem
and at last it will make use early_res instead of bootmem with x86 64bits
the first two are needed for some amd_bus.c/intel_bus.c cleaning up patches too.
so put other x86/pci related into this series
hope that is ok to Jesse.
-v2: allocate vmemmap on one node together, and also seperate early_res
Thanks

So you want to allocate lots of memory from higher memory adresses?

The point of this patchset is what?
Avoid use of bootmem altogether by x86 bootstrap? If so why?
