ok, based on your console log, I'm pretty sure it would have broken on
almost any IA64.

That's useful to know. It means I know what pfn ranges I expect to see
being passed to add_active_range().

Good man Mel! The callback register_active_ranges() callback is getting
*virtual addresses*, not PFNs (which is brutally obvious now!). For
discontig, there is a similar story. count_node_pages() is getting a
*physical address*, not a pfn (also called start which is a bit confusing
but a different problem).
So some thinking out loud to see if you spot problems;
o PAGE_OFFSET seems to be 16140901064495857664 from the header file
o Instead of using add_active_range(node, start, end), assume I had used
add_active_range(node,
(start - PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT,
(end - PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT);
That would have made the console log look something like;
add_active_range(0, 4096, 522752): New
add_active_range(0, 523936, 524080): New
add_active_range(0, 1572864, 2096656): New
add_active_range(0, 2096768, 2097076): New
That seems to register memory about the 0-2G mark and 6-8G with some small
holes here and there. Sounds like what you expected to happen. In case the
1:1 virt->phys mapping is not always true on IA64, I decided to use __pa()
instead of PAGE_OFFSET like;
add_active_range(node, __pa(start) >> PAGE_SHIFT, __pa(end) >> PAGE_SHIFT);
Is this the correct thing to do or is "start - PAGE_OFFSET" safer?
Optimistically assuming __pa() is ok, the following patch (which replaces
Patch 5/6 again) should boot (passed compile testing here). If it doesn't,
can you send the console log again please?
Thanks again.
