Hi Michal, I decided not to merge these two patches, because in addition to sparc optimization move, we have this dependancies: mm: zero reserved and unavailable struct pages must be before mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap. Otherwise, we can end-up with struct pages that

vmemmap_alloc_block() will no longer zero the block, so zero memory at its call sites for everything except struct pages. Struct page memory is zero'd by struct page initialization. Replace allocators in sprase-vmemmap to use the non-zeroing version. So, we will get the performance improvement by
