Well and that whole #ifdeffery is disgusting as well - even if the goal was to 
remove CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM ASAP.

Please learn to use proper intermediate helper functions and at minimum put 
the conversion ugliness somewhere that doesnt intrude our daily flow in .c 
files. The best rule is to _never ever_ put an #ifdef construct into a .c 
file. It doesnt matter what the goal if the #ifdef is - such ugliness in code 
is never justified.

Thanks,

	Ingo
