Sorry, if you want to revert, you just need to revert:
commit e8d1955258091e4c92d5a975ebd7fd8a98f5d30f
acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready
commit 01a178a94e8eaec351b29ee49fbb3d1c124cb7fb
acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT

The other two have nothing to do with SRAT. And they are necessary.

Seeing from the code, I think it is clean. But we'd better test it.

About this problem, I need to do some investigation, and I think we can
have a try.

I do hope we can keep these patches. And put the improve work in the
future. :)

Thanks. :)
