    Subject[PATCH -v2 6/9] bootmem: add free_bootmem_late
    Date
    Add a new function for freeing bootmem after the bootmem allocator has
    been released and the unreserved pages given to the page allocator.
    This allows us to reserve bootmem and then release it if we later
    discover it was not needed.
