Subject[PATCH RFC 2/2] powerpc/mm: Enable page parallel initialisation
Message-ID<r8vyx-3xp-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Li Zhang <zhlcindy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Parallel initialisation has been enabled for X86,
boot time is improved greatly.
On Power8, for small memory, it is improved greatly.
Here is the result from my test on Power8 platform:

For 4GB memory: 57% is improved
For 50GB memory: 22% is improve
