Subject[PATCH 10/13] x86: mm: Enable deferred struct page initialisation on x86-64
Date
This patch adds the Kconfig logic to add deferred struct page initialisation
to x86-64 if NUMA is enabled. Other architectures may enable on a
case-by-case basis after auditing early_pfn_to_nid and testing.

+ Ordinarily all struct pages are initialised during early boot in a
