BTW, is this `mem_init_done' flag the recommended(TM) way to handle this?
Or is it just something that always stayed under the radar of the reviewers, as
only PPC has it (and Atari)?
I remember we had something similar globally when __init was introduced,
which was used by the frame buffer code to determine whether to draw the
penguin logo (which is __initdata) or not. This code had to be ripped out (and
was replaced by the FBINFO_MODULE logic), because people didn't like
mem_init_done flags...
