SubjectRe: Boot failures with "mm/sparse: Remove CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER" on powerpc (was Re: mmotm 2018-07-10-16-50 uploaded)
I am OK, if this patch is removed from Baoquan's series. But, I would
still like to get rid of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER, I
can work on this in my sparse_init re-write series. ppc64 should
really fallback safely to small chunks allocs, and if it does not
there is some existing bug. Michael please send the config that you
used.

Thank you,
Pavel
