This won't suffice as reserve_bootmem() doesn't use
alloc_bootmem_core(), so now you effectively removed the node-0
restriction for reserve_bootmem() on this configuration.

I wonder why this setup wants to register several bootmem nodes but
only use node 0, anyway.  Does someone remember? :)

static but you refer to it in arch/x86/include/mmzone_32.h.
