Ryan,

Why isn't alloc_bootmem or alloc_bootmem_pages good enough? I already
restructured the boot sequence a while back to allow for that.

The only problem I see with using those routines is that it is a little
harder to free up memory allocated with those routines once the
memory subsystem is fully initialized, but if you are only dynamically
allocating, without a need to free the memory you should be able to
use those routines without having to do any restructuring.
