[PATCH 41/49] x86, memblock: Add memblock_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 memblock_find_in_range(), with node range.

[PATCH -v23 00/49] Use memblock with x86
New memblock could be used to replace early_res in x86. Suggested by: David, Ben, and Thomas -v18: change memblock_find_area to memblock_find_in_range kill __memblock_find_area and use memblock_find_area directly remove memblock_add_memory change memblock_reserve_area to memblock_reserve_rang... 6 Jul 2010 18:55

[PATCH 12/49] memblock: Remove memblock_type.size and add memblock.memory_size instead
From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh(a)kernel.crashing.org> Right now, both the "memory" and "reserved" memblock_type structures have a "size" member. It's unused in the later case, and represent the calculated memory size in the later case. This moves it out to the main memblock structure instead Signed-off-by:... 6 Jul 2010 18:55

[PATCH 33/49] memblock: Add memblock_find_in_range()
it is a wrapper for memblock_find_base make it more easy for x86 to use memblock. ( rebase ) x86 early_res is using find/reserve pattern instead of alloc. keep it in weak version, so later We can use x86 own version if needed. also We need it in mm/memblock.c, so one caller mm/page_alloc.c could get compiled ... 6 Jul 2010 18:55
