Parallel initialisation has been enabled for X86, boot time is
improved greatly. On Power8, it is improved greatly for small
memory. Here is the result from my test on Power8 platform:
For 4GB memory: 57% is improved, boot time as the following:
with patch: 10s, without patch: 24.5s
For 50GB memory: 22% is improved, boot time as the following:
with patch: 43.8s, without patch: 56.8s

* Add boot time details in change log.
* Please apply this patch after [PATCH 1/2] mm: meminit: initialise
more memory for inode/dentry hash tables in early boot, because
[PATCH 1/2] is to fix a bug which can be reproduced on Power.
