mm: use alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() on really needed path
Stefan found nobootmem does not work on his system that has only 8M of RAM. This causes an early panic: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-88: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f000 (usable) BIOS-88: 0000000000100000 - 0000000000840000 (usable) bootconsole [earlyser0] enabled Notice: NX (Execute Disable) protection missing in CPU or disabled in BIOS! DMI not present or invalid. last_pfn = 0x840 max_arch_pfn = 0x100000 init_memory_mapping: 0000000000000000-0000000000840000 8MB LOWMEM available. mapped low ram: 0 - 00840000 low ram: 0 - 00840000 Zone PFN ranges: DMA 0x00000001 -> 0x00001000 Normal empty Movable zone start PFN for each node early_node_map[2] active PFN ranges 0: 0x00000001 -> 0x0000009f 0: 0x00000100 -> 0x00000840 BUG: Int 6: CR2 (null) EDI c034663c ESI (null) EBP c0329f38 ESP c0329ef4 EBX c0346380 EDX 00000006 ECX ffffffff EAX fffffff4 err (null) EIP c0353191 CS c0320060 flg 00010082 Stack: (null) c030c533 000007cd (null) c030c533 00000001 (null) (null) 00000003 0000083f 00000018 00000002 00000002 c0329f6c c03534d6 (null) (null) 00000100 00000840 (null) c0329f64 00000001 00001000 (null) Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.36 #5 Call Trace: [<c02e3707>] ? 0xc02e3707 [<c035e6e5>] 0xc035e6e5 [<c0353191>] ? 0xc0353191 [<c03534d6>] 0xc03534d6 [<c034f1cd>] 0xc034f1cd [<c034a824>] 0xc034a824 [<c03513cb>] ? 0xc03513cb [<c0349432>] 0xc0349432 [<c0349066>] 0xc0349066 It turns out that we should ignore the low limit of 16M. Use alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() in this case.
