Okay, I'm convinced.  I've updated my series so CONFIG_PRINTK_PERSIST
only works with HAVE_MEMBLOCK, and I've removed the patch to
unconditionally call bootmem in the existing non-PRINTK_PERSIST case.

(I'll upload the patches later once the other threads play out.)

Thanks for the quick feedback!

Avery
