Subject: xen: fix too early kmalloc call
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=28e08861b9afab4168b758fb7b95aa7a4da0f668;p=linux-beck.git

xen: fix too early kmalloc call

Impact: fix bootup crash on xen guests

SLAB is not yet up, with earlyprintk it is giving me an Oops in __kmalloc.

Replace call to kmalloc() with alloc_bootmem().
