OK, I grepped for that string and found the infamous FIXME:

/* FIXME: */
        printk(KERN_INFO "NOT FREEING INITMEM (%dk)\n",
                        (&__init_end - &__init_begin) >> 10);
        return;			

OTOH, why does the code below that not work for PA-RISC?

./arch/sparc/mm/init.c be a good start?
