We should be able to do this earlier. We already walk the tree twice in unflattening. We can get the max phandle (or number of phandles IMO) on the first pass, allocate with the early allocator and then populate the cache in the 2nd pass. AIUI, you can alloc with memblock and then free with kfree as the memblock allocations get transferred to the slab.
