Anton, are you bored? :-) If so, could you test out the patch
below on your ppc64 box? It does the "page hash table via bootmem"
thing. It is against 2.4.15-pre2
The ppc64 specific bits you'll need to do, but they should
be very straight forward.
It also fixes a really stupid bug in the bootmem allocator.
If the bootmem area starts in some unaligned address, the
"align" argument to the bootmem allocator isn't honored.
