x86-32, numa: Move lowmem address space reservation to init_alloc_remap()
Remap alloc init is done in the following stages. 1. init_alloc_remap() calculates how much memory is necessary for each node and reserves node local memory. 2. initmem_init() collects how much each node needs and reserves a single contiguous lowmem area which can contain all. 3. init_remap_allocator() initializes allocator parameters from the determined lowmem address and per-node offsets. 4. Actual remap happens. There is no reason for the lowmem remap area to be reserved as a single contiguous area at one go. They don't interact with each other and the memblock allocator will put them side-by-side anyway. This patch breaks up the single lowmem address reservation and put per-node lowmem address reservation into init_alloc_remap() and initializes allocator parameters directly in the function as all the addresses are determined there. This merges steps 2 and 3 into 1. While at it, remove now largely irrelevant comments in init_alloc_remap(). This change causes the following behavior changes. * Remap lowmem areas are allocated in smaller per-node chunks. * Remap lowmem area reservation failure fail future remap allocations instead of panicking. * Remap allocator initialization is less verbose.
