Erich and Tak, are you guys interested in having CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM work w/o CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP? I think we can get it working for your platform pretty easily, but making it work for platforms with potentially very large holes in each node looks like it'll require changes to the bootmem allocator at the very least, and so is probably a 2.7 thing. But if you don't care, I won't worry about it now. Thanks, Jesse
