Subject: [PATCH] x86/bootmem: introduce bootmem_default_goal

if you don't want to drop
|  bootmem: avoid DMA32 zone by default

today mainline tree actually DO NOT need that patch according to print out ...

please apply this one too.

[PATCH] x86/bootmem: introduce bootmem_default_goal

don't punish the 64bit systems with less 4G RAM.
they should use _pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS) at first pass instead of failback...
