Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment. When this patch
is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel. This
should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and initialising
data that is local to the CPU. The user-visible effect on large machines
is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early in the lifetime
of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is initialised in the
kernel log. Once initialised there should be no other user-visibile effects.
