The attached patch significantly shrinks boot memory allocation on ia64.
It does this by not allocating per_cpu areas for cpus that can never
exist.
In the case where acpi does not have any numa node description of
the cpus, I defaulted to assigning the first 4 to node 0. For the
!CONFIG_ACPI I used for_each_possible_cpu().

Using a patched SuSE SLES10 kernel with both the mca patch that Jack/Russ
submitted a couple days ago and the attached.
On a HP box with 2 cpu, 6GB system, NR_CPUS=4096:
Before the patch:
Memory: 5687728k/6234784k available (5777k code, 579632k reserved, 10450k data,
672k init)
After both patches:
Memory: 6211984k/6235040k available (5552k code, 55376k reserved, 10418k data,
656k init)
90% savings on reserved.
On a HP box with 1 cpu, 1GB system, NR_CPUS=4096 before 572,464K, after 37,456k
for a 93% savings.
