mm: define memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw
* A new variant of memblock_virt_alloc_* allocations:
memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw()
- Does not zero the allocated memory
- Does not panic if request cannot be satisfied
* optimize early system hash allocations
Clients can call alloc_large_system_hash() with flag: HASH_ZERO to
specify that memory that was allocated for system hash needs to be
zeroed, otherwise the memory does not need to be zeroed, and client will
initialize it.
If memory does not need to be zero'd, call the new
memblock_virt_alloc_raw() interface, and thus improve the boot
performance.
* debug for raw alloctor
When CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled, this patch sets all the memory that is
returned by memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() to ones to ensure that no
places excpect zeroed memory.
