Hey, the patch served a good purpose actually. It reminded me that you
want bootmem initialized before the inventory is done. I am currently
working on supporting discontiguous memory, and was going to change
the way memory config/initialization was done anyway. Now that I remember
that you want bootmem initialized before the inventory, I will take that
into account.

So, don't worry about handling that part yourself. Just assume that
you will have bootmem available in the inventory path, and continue
developing your bus walk code using your patch for the 32 bit code
in your own work area. I will check in the new memory initialization
code very soon, perhaps as soon as Monday night. You can then merge
with that code.
