Next: [PATCH 39/43] memblock: Export MEMBLOCK_ERROR
From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt on 6 Aug 2010 01:20
memblock_alloc_nid() used to fallback to allocating anywhere by using
memblock_alloc() as a fallback.

However, some of my previous patches limit memblock_alloc() to the region
covered by MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE which is not quite what we want
for memblock_alloc_try_nid().

So we fix it by explicitely using MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE.

Not that so far only sparc uses memblock_alloc_nid() and it hasn't been updated
to clamp the accessible zone yet. Thus the temporary "breakage" should have
no effect.
