x86: Make early_node_mem get mem > 4 GB if possible
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
So we could put pgdata for the node high, and later sparse
vmmap will get the section nr that need.

With this patch will make <4 GB ram not use a sparse vmmap.

before this patch, will get, before swiotlb try get bootmem
