I increased the pre-initialized memory per node in update_defer_init() 
of mm/page_alloc.c from 2G to 4G. Now I am able to boot the 24-TB 
machine without error. The 12-TB has 0.75TB/node, while the 24-TB 
machine has 1.5TB/node. I would suggest something like pre-initializing 
1G per 0.25TB/node. In this way, it will scale properly with the memory 
size.

Before the patch, the boot time from elilo prompt to ssh login was 694s. 
After the patch, the boot up time was 346s, a saving of 348s (about 50%).

Cheers,
Longman
