oh, i had your patches applied then undid them due to this:

   http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0804.2/0253.html

havent seen a followup to that mail so it was 'issue pending'.

so i very much agree that your changes are cleaner, i just wanted to 
have one that has all the fixes included.

Would you like to post a patch against current -git or should i extract 
the cleaner reserve_bootmem() from your previous patch?
