[PATCH 1/2] lib/genalloc.c: Use the vzalloc_node to allocate the bitmap.

[PATCH 1/2] lib/genalloc.c: Use the vzalloc_node to allocate the bitmap.

[Huang Shijie]

Some devices may have over 1G memory on chip.
In some cases, the nbytes may big then 4M which is the bounday of
the memory buddy system. So use vzalloc_node() to allocate the bitmap.

[PATCH 2/2] lib/genalloc.c: export symbol addr_in_gen_pool

[Huang Shijie]

We may use the addr_in_gen_pool() in the driver module.
So export the addr_in_gen_pool for the compiling.

[PATCH 1/2 fix] lib/genalloc.c: Use the vzalloc_node to allocate the bitmap.

[Huang Shijie]

Some devices may have big memory on chip, such as over 1G.
In some cases, the nbytes maybe bigger then 4M which is the bounday of
the memory buddy system (4K default).

So use vzalloc_node() to allocate the bitmap.
Also use vfree to free the it.

The v1 did not free the memory with vfree.
This patch fixes it.

OK, but...  The name is poor.

q:/usr/src/25> grep EXPORT_SYMBOL lib/genalloc.c
EXPORT_SYMBOL(gen_pool_create);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(gen_pool_add_virt);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(gen_pool_virt_to_phys);

See?  Almost everything is called gen_pool_foo.  Which is correct as
per kernel conventions.  We should globally rename this to
gen_pool_has_addr or similar.

Please send this along with the driver that plans to use it.

The driver is still under develop with the FPGA, and our hardware chip maybe
tape out at next year.

So lets wait for the driver submission or another user before we
export the symbol.
