Suggested by: David, Ben, and Thomas First one should go into 2.6.34 -v6: change sequence as requested by Thomas -v7: seperate them to more patches -v8: add boundary checking to make sure not free partial page. -v9: use lmb_debug to control print out of reserve_lmb. add e820 clean up, and e820 become __initdata -v10:use lmb.rmo_size and ARCH_DISCARD_LMB according to Michael change name to lmb_find_area/reserve_lmb_area/free_lmb_area, according to Michael update find_lmb_area to use __lmb_alloc_base according to ben our orginal find_lmb_area is from low to high, but this __lmb_alloc_base is from to low. looks like it make bootmem have more segments Please check Thanks Yinghai
