Heaps better, thanks ;)  Below is what I now have.

(cc's people)

Guys, could you please review this?  Maybe test it a bit?

Thanks.


From: "Yinghai Lu" <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com>

With numa enabled, some callers could have a range o fmemory on one node but
try to free that on other node.  This can cause some pages to be freed
wrongly.

For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for gart/swiotlb, and
free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some range afterwards.

With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just loop
to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes.

This patch make free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx and eidx
according the ram range that the node has.
