[PATCH] mm: meminit: Initialise a subset of struct pages if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set -fix

[Mel Gorman]

This is take 2 on describing why these section names exist. If accepted
then it should be considered a fix for the mmotm patch
mm-meminit-initialise-a-subset-of-struct-pages-if-config_deferred_struct_page_init-is-set.patch

- * Deferred struct page initialisation requires some early init functions that

- * hotplug so put the data and code required by deferred initialisation into
- * the __meminit section where they are preserved.
+ * Deferred struct page initialisation requires init functions that are freed
+ * before kswapd is available. Reuse the memory hotplug section annotation
+ * to mark the required code.
+ *
+ * __defermem_init is code that always exists but is annotated __meminit to
+ * 	avoid section warnings.
+ * __defer_init code gets marked __meminit when deferring struct page
+ *	initialistion but is otherwise in the init section.
