[PATCH] x86-64: Reverse order of bootmem lists
This leads to bootmem allocating first from node 0 instead of from the last node. This avoids swiotlb allocating on the last node, which doesn't really work on a machine with >4GB. Note: there is a better patch around from someone else that gets rid of the pgdat list completely. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
