[PATCH 15/23] x86, lmb: Add lmb_x86_find_in_range_node()
It can be used to find NODE_DATA for numa. Need to make sure early_node_map[] is filled before it is called, otherwise it will fallback to lmb_find_in_range(), with node range.

[PATCH 08/23] x86, lmb: Add lmb_x86_find_in_range_size()
size is returned according free range. Will be used to find free ranges for early_memtest and memory corruption check Do not mess it up with lib/lmb.c yet.

[PATCH 12/23] x86, lmb: Add get_free_all_memory_range()
get_free_all_memory_range is for CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, and will be called by free_all_memory_core_early(). It will use early_node_map aka active ranges subtract lmb.reserved to get all free range, and those ranges will convert to slab pages. -v4: increase range size Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai(a)kernel.o... 4 Jul 2010 03:38

[PATCH 10/23] x86, lmb: Add lmb_x86_to_bootmem()
lmb_x86_to_bootmem() will reserve lmb.reserved.region in bootmem after bootmem is set up. We can use it to with all arches that support lmb later.
