But, if flag asserts are\nchanged we can start hitting issues.\n\nAlso, because in this patch series we will stop zeroing struct page memory\nduring allocation, we must make sure that struct pages are properly\ninitialized prior to using them.\n\nThe deferred-reserved pages are initialized in free_all_bootmem().\nTherefore, the fix is to switch the above calls.\n\nSigned-off-by: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@oracle.com>\nReviewed-by: Steven Sistare <steven.sistare@oracle.com>\nReviewed-by: Daniel Jordan <daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com>\nReviewed-by: Bob Picco <bob.picco@oracle.com>\nAcked-by: David S.
