I tried to put
find_memory()afteracpi_numa_init()as in 2.5.72, but now we get:
bootmem alloc of 100 bytes failed! inacpi_table_init()
that now uses the bootmem allocator.

I wonder what should be the right order for initialisation, and if there are ia64 platforms running 2.6.0 with
CONFIG_NUMA. Any help is apreciated.Jesse Barnes has an unreleased patch to make SGI SN2 work, which does move the
find_memory()afteracpi_numa_init(). There is another patch, which I've attached, which removes the bootmem alloc of memory in ACPI.
I talked with Andy Grover about this and I think he agreed to remove the alloc_bootmem calls from ACPI table initialization, so we should be ok once that gets merged into Linus' tree. I'll double check with Andy when I get back.
