I've just NAK'd one of the patches in this set; I don't tend to even see
mediatek patches normally, as they all head into my junk mailfolder
because mediatek's mail server setup is truely abysmal (it has broken
reverse DNS - the DNS positively says that the mail server is not a
legit owner of the name it claims to be.)

The problem is that this patch series uses memblock_reserve() way after
the memory has been transitioned out of memblock's control, so actually
this has no effect.

I've seen a number of patches doing this.  I'm not sure what's soo friggin
hard for people to understand: memblock is about the EARLY stages of
getting the system up and running.  Once the memory has been handed
over to the kernel's memory management, memblock MUST NOT BE USED to
reserve memory.

There is one place, and one place only in the ARM kernel where
memblock_reserve() is possible, and that's in the ->reserve machine
callback.  NOWHERE ELSE is permissible.

Hi Russell,

Hope you see this.

Thanks for your review. I already pass this information to our IT, hope
they can resolve this soon.

It seems we can write memory-reserve node in device tree to do this as
well. Do you prefer us to reserve memblock in reserve callback or using
device tree?

OK, I just dropped the patches. Thanks for reviewing this.
