mm/memblock: allocate boot time data structures from mirrored memory
Try to allocate all boot time kernel data structures from mirrored memory. If we run out of mirrored memory print warnings, but fall back to using non-mirrored memory to make sure that we still boot. By number of bytes, most of what we allocate at boot time is the page structures. 64 bytes per 4K page on x86_64 ... or about 1.5% of total system memory. For workloads where the bulk of memory is allocated to applications this may represent a useful improvement to system availability since 1.5% of total memory might be a third of the memory allocated to the kernel.
