Size zones and holes in an architecture independent manner for x86_64.

Hey Mel,
I am having some trouble with the srat.c changes. I keep running into
"SRAT: Hotplug area has existing memory" so am am taking more throught
look at this patch.
I am working on 2.6.18-rc4-mm3 x86_64.

srat.c is doing some sanity checking against the e820 and hot-add
memory ranges. BIOS folk aren't to be trusted with the SRAT. Calling
remove_all_active_ranges before acpi_numa_init leaves nothing to fall
back onto if the SRAT is bad. (see bad_srat()). What should happen
when we discard the srat info?

i386 code may have similar fallback logic (haven't been there in a while)

We go back to setup_arch with no active areas?

We really do want to to compare against the e820 map at it contains
the memory that is really present (this info was blown away before
acpi_numa) Anyway I fixed up to have the current chunk added
(e820_register_active_regions) after calling this code so it logicaly
makes sense but it still trip over the check. I am not sure what you
are printing out in you debug code but dosen't look like pfns or
phys_addresses but maybe it can tell us why the check fails.

A node chunk in this section of code may be a hot-pluggable zone. With
MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE we don't want to register these regions.

if (ma->flags.hot_pluggable && !reserve_hotadd(node, start, end) < 0) {
/* Ignore hotadd region. Undo damage */

I have but the e820_register_active_regions as a else to this
statment the absent pages check fails.

Also nodes_cover_memory and alot of these check were based against
comparing the srat data against the e820. Now all this code is
comparing SRAT against SRAT....

I am willing to help here but we should compare the SRAT against to
e820. Table v. Table.

What to you think should be done?

Thanks,
Keith
