Subject: [PATCH] Section mismatch contig_page_data and bootmem_node_data

If CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is *not* set, then you get a section
mismatch in reference from the variable contig_page_data to the
variable __initdata bootmem_node_data.

The simple solution is to just remove the __initdata from
bootmem_node_data. We could also put an ifdef around the __initdata.
