[PATCH] __alloc_bootmem_node should not panic when it fails
__alloc_bootmem_node currently panics if it cant satisfy an allocation for
a particular node. Thats rather antisocial, we should at the very least
return NULL and allow the caller to proceed (eg try another node).
A quick look at alloc_bootmem_node usage suggests we should fall back to
allocating from other nodes if it fails (as arch/alpha/kernel/pci_iommu.c
and arch/x86_64/kernel/setup64.c do).
The following patch does that. We fall back to the regular __alloc_bootmem
when __alloc_bootmem_node fails, which means all other nodes are checked
for available memory.
