powerpc: Remove alloc_maybe_bootmem for zalloc version

2011-05-19T05:30:57Z

Replace all remaining callers of alloc_maybe_bootmem with zalloc_maybe_bootmem. The callsite in pci_dn is followed with a memset to clear the memory, and not zeroing at the other callsites in the celleb fake pci code could lead to following uninitialized memory as pointers or even freeing said pointers on error paths.

[POWERPC] Limit range of __init_ref_ok somewhat

2007-10-03T01:48:44Z

This patch introduces zalloc_maybe_bootmem and uses it so that we don't have to mark a whole (largish) routine as __init_ref_ok. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Fix section mismatch in PCI code

2007-09-19T05:25:34Z

Create a helper function (alloc_maybe_bootmem) that is marked __init_refok to limit the chances of mistakenly referring to other __init routines.
