[PATCH] boot_pageset must not be freed.

Browse Source 
The boot_pageset needs to be preserved for hotplugging and for off line
processors and nodes. Otherwise pointers will point into memory that has
now a different use. /proc/zoneinfo is currently showing strange results
if processors / nodes are not present.
