  • free_area_init_node() gets passed in the node id as well as the node
    descriptor. This is redundant as the function can trivially get the node
    descriptor itself by means of NODE_DATA() and the node's id.

    I checked all the users and NODE_DATA() seems to be usable everywhere
    from where this function is called.

  • As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b,
    alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
    zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
    functions is unnecessary.

    This was fixed using the following semantic patch.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
