      x86, mm: Fix node_possible_map logic · 7c43769a
      Yinghai Lu authored
      Recently there were some changes to the meaning of node_possible_map,
      and it is quite strange:
      
      - the node without memory would be set in node_possible_map
      - but some node with less NODE_MIN_SIZE will be kicked out of node_possible_map.
      
      fix it by adding strict_setup_node_bootmem().
      
      Also, remove unparse_node().
      
      so result will be:
      
      1. cpu_to_node() will return online node only (nearest one)
      2. apicid_to_node() still returns the node that could be not online but is set
         in node_possible_map.
      3. node_possible_map will include nodes that mem on it are less NODE_MIN_SIZE
      
      v2: after move_cpus_to_node change.

      mm, x86: remove MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE related code · 888a589f

       |    x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model
      
      we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore.
      
      Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
      whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
      potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
      without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
      until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
      removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.
      
      This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.
