Linus Torvalds b41048485e mm/mm_init: simplify deferred initialization of struct pages
Refactor and simplify deferred initialization of the memory map.
 
 Beside the negative diffstat it gives 3ms (55ms vs 58ms) reduction in the
 initialization of deferred pages on single node system with 64GiB of RAM.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
