Will update fixmap_remap_fdt() in next patch. However, I tested on some arm64 platform, if we also call memblock_reserve() in kaslr.c, would cause warning[1] when memblock_reserve() is called again in setup_machine_fdt(). The warning comes from https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/mm/memblock.c#L601 ``` if (type->regions[0].size == 0) { WARN_ON(type->cnt != 1 || type->total_size); ... ``` Call memblock_reserve() multiple times after setup_machine_fdt() doesn't have such warning though. I didn't trace the real reason causing this. But in this case, maybe don't call memblock_reserve() in kaslr?
