[PATCH v2] x86/setup: Merge {early_,}reserve_initrd() to one function

[PATCH v2] x86/setup: Merge {early_,}reserve_initrd() to one function

[Alexander Kuleshov]

The check and definitions related to ramdisk are similar in the
early_reserve_initrd() and reserve_initrd(). So we can get rid of
early_reserve_initrd() and and use late or early algorithm for
initrd reservation depends on reserve_initrd() parameter value.

So I don't think the code got easier to understand - in particular the 
memblock_reserve()/free() pattern, depending on a flag value, is confusing.

The duplication is there - but please factor it out into a helper structure 
('struct ramdisk') and a helper function that sets up the structure.

Thanks,

	Ingo

What if instead of `struct ramdisk`, we will move all definitions/check from
the early_reserve_initrd to the setup_arch() and than will pass these values
to the reserve_initrd()?

There's too many of them, putting them into 'struct ramdisk' cleans up and 
documents the whole code.

And yes, 'struct ramdisk' state should be defined in setup_arch(), that way it 
does not have to be calculated twice: so the patch becomes not just a code size 
reduction but a (small) runtime reduction as well.

Should be tested with a real ramdisk, to make sure everything still works fine.

Thanks,

	Ingo
