Subject: [BUG Fix Patch 6/6] Bug fix: Reuse the storage of /sys/firmware/memmap/X/ allocated by bootmem.
Now we don't free firmware_map_entry which is allocated by bootmem because
there is no way to do so when the system is up. But we can at least remember
the address of that memory and reuse the storage when the memory is added
next time.
This patch introduces a new list map_entries_bootmem to link the map entries
allocated by bootmem when they are removed, and a lock to protect it.
And these entries will be reused when the memory is hot-added again.
The idea is suggestted by Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>
