Okay, so this is aiming to be a cover-all-cases library function.

Sure, but I'd really like this code to come from libfdt. I'm hoping for some
temporary workaround, lets see what the DT folk say.

I thought so, libfdt is one of those external libraries that the kernel
consumes, like acpica. For acpica at least the rule is changes go upstream, then
get sync'd back.

Ah, that's another one. I just wanted to check we could boot on a system where
this can happen.

Sorry, turns out I can't read!

What's the advantage in things looking the same? If they are the same, it
probably shouldn't be in per-arch code. Otherwise it should be as simple as
possible, otherwise we can't spot the bugs/leaks.
But I think walking memblock here will remove all 'looks the same' properties here.

They also pass the e820 'usable-memory' map on the cmdline...
