This patch adds a non-atomic version __SetPageReserved that can be used during page init and shows about a 10% improvement in initialization times on the systems I have available for testing. On those systems I saw initialization times drop from around 35 seconds to around 32 seconds to initialize a 3TB block of persistent memory. I believe the main advantage of this is that it allows for more compiler optimization as the __set_bit operation can be reordered whereas the atomic version cannot. I tried adding a bit of documentation based on commit ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online"). Ideally the reserved flag should be set earlier since there is a brief window where the page is initialization via __init_single_page and we have not set the PG_Reserved flag. I'm leaving that for a future patch set as that will require a more significant refactor.
