Also in git:
https://git.kernel.org/rppt/h/mm-init/v2

v2:
* move init_cma_reserved_pageblock() from cma.c to mm_init.c
* rename init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to
  mem_debugging_and_hardening_init()
* inline pgtable_init() into mem_core_init()
* add Acked and Reviewed tags (thanks David, hopefully I've picked them
  right)

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230319220008.2138576-1-rppt@kernel.org
This set moves most of the core MM initialization to mm/mm_init.c.

This largely includes free_area_init() and its helpers, functions used at
boot time, mm_init() from init/main.c and some of the functions it calls.

Aside from gaining some more space before mm/page_alloc.c hits 10k lines,
this makes mm/page_alloc.c to be mostly about buddy allocator and moves the
init code out of the way, which IMO improves maintainability.

Besides, this allows to move a couple of declarations out of include/linux
and make them private to mm/.

And as an added bonus there a slight decrease in vmlinux size.
For tinyconfig and defconfig on x86 I've got

tinyconfig:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 853206	 289376	1200128	2342710	 23bf36	a/vmlinux
 853198	 289344	1200128	2342670	 23bf0e	b/vmlinux

defconfig:
    text   	   data	    bss	    dec	    	    hex	filename
26152959	9730634	2170884	38054477	244aa4d	a/vmlinux
26152945	9730602	2170884	38054431	244aa1f	b/vmlinux


Mike Rapoport (IBM) (14):
  mips: fix comment about pgtable_init()
  mm/page_alloc: add helper for checking if check_pages_enabled
  mm: move most of core MM initialization to mm/mm_init.c
  mm: handle hashdist initialization in mm/mm_init.c
  mm/page_alloc: rename page_alloc_init() to page_alloc_init_cpuhp()
  init: fold build_all_zonelists() and page_alloc_init_cpuhp() to mm_init()
  init,mm: move mm_init() to mm/mm_init.c and rename it to mm_core_init()
  mm: call {ptlock,pgtable}_cache_init() directly from mm_core_init()
  mm: move init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to mm/mm_init.c
  init,mm: fold late call to page_ext_init() to page_alloc_init_late()
  mm: move mem_init_print_info() to mm_init.c
  mm: move kmem_cache_init() declaration to mm/slab.h

Sorry, I get lazy on large patches and only ACK instead of checking each 
and every line :)
