Hi All,
For ARM Linux, during booting first memblock reserves memory regions then
bootmem allocator create node, mem_map, page bitmap data and then hands
over to buddy.
I have been thinking from some time about why we need two different
allocators for this.
Can we merge both into one(memblock into bootmem) or create a new allocator
which can speed up the same thing which is easy to enhance in future.
I am not sure about this and whether it's good idea or will it be fruitful.
Please suggest and share your opinion.
Thank you in advance for your help.
