Yeah, something along those lines. I mean, they're allocated and in-use during the complete system lifetime, we might just as well allocate them all in one go. Btw, what's our allocator that early, memblock?
Still, what I find strange is why are we seeing this only now? Is it because it had to be a big box (cpu >= 128) or something else changed...?
Hohumm.
