Can not boot with CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y on i686
Hello. After update to 2.6.34-rc1, I was experimented by strange oopses during boot, what looked like memory corruption. Bisection shows that first bad commit is 59be5a8e8ce765cf739ec7f07176219972de7481 ("x86: Make 32bit support NO_BOOTMEM"). When I disable CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM I'm able to start system.

[PATCH 2/2] x86: irq_desc->chip_data is always correct whether or not SPARSE_IRQ is enabled.
arch_early_irq_init ensures that in the non-SPARSE_IRQ case that chip_data is only set for irq < NR_IRQS which means that the SPARSE_IRQ version of irq_cfg behaves exactly the same as the non-SPARSE_IRQ version when SPARSE_IRQ is disabled.

[GITPULL+PATCH 0/2 v3] irq: move some interrupt arch_* functions into struct irq_chip.
This small series ensures that struct irq_desc->chip_data is available for alternative irq_chip implementations. Since v2: pass x86_init_chip_data as a argument to irq_to_desc_alloc_node instead of calling in the arch code in order to get correct locking wrt the core code. Small impact on the SH arch code which ... 19 Mar 2010 08:10
