Hi Wu,

Sorry to make noise here. Please see below. :)

Seems that we have different ways to handle pages allocated by bootmem
or by regular allocator. Is the checking way in [PATCH 09/12] available
here ?

+	/* bootmem page has reserved flag */
+	if (PageReserved(page)) {
......
+	}

If so, I think we can just merge these two functions.

All the free_xxx_table() are very similar to the functions in
[PATCH 09/12]. Could we reuse them anyway ?

Is this patch going to replace [PATCH 08/12] ?

If so, __split_large_page() was added and exported in [PATCH 09/12],
then we should move it here, right ?

If not, free_map_bootmem() and __kfree_section_memmap() were changed in
[PATCH 08/12], and we need to handle this.

In the latest kernel, this line was:
static void free_map_bootmem(struct page *memmap, unsigned long nr_pages)
