Description of problem: The change from discontig to sparsemem undercut Jes's upstream patch to show_mem(). A new patch is now in the -mm tree awaiting a move to Linus' tree. The importance of this patch is that it provides more information about NUMA memory in a form that is more compact than the original discontig.c:show_mem(). It should be noted that this is one of the few ways of getting at this information when an error occurs in the field. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Will post to rhkernel-list when it goes into Linus' tree.
