hi,

The commit sha1 had been included as required. Please review the attached patch. 
I only update the changlog of the patch.

thanks

Subject: [PATCH] UML delete unnecessary bootmem struct page array

1) uml kernel bootmem managed through bootmem_data->node_bootmem_map,
not the struct page array, so the array is unnecessary.

2) the bootmem struct page array has been pointed by a *local* pointer,
struct page *map, in init_maps function. The array can be accessed only
in init_maps's scope. As a result, uml kernel wastes about 1% of total
memory.

3) commit 5678d7fc97ac75f7401ce77897773cc0bb3afee5 obsoleted
the init_maps function.
