Hi, all,

Few related to this patch. About memblock, I have a question.

In my own understanding, 3 stages at previous part of arch_mem_init().

stage1: Add memory to memblock.memory at plat_mem_setup().
stage2: parse_early_param() parses parameter about memroy, such as "mem" "memmap". check_kernel_sections_mem() checks whether the current memblock.memory contains the kernel. At this stage, user can defined memblock.memory by themselves. Also it is the final stage of determining memblock.memory.
stage3: others. use memblock.memory and add them to memblock.reserve.

Calling to memblock_alloc*() should be after the reserve kernel(), see:
    memblock_set_current_limit(PFN_PHYS(max_low_pfn))

(
Here few about this patch: It works no problem, memblock_dump shows:
[    0.000000]  memory.cnt  = 0x2
[ 0.000000] memory[0x0] [0x0000000000200000-0x000000000effffff], 0x000000000ee00000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 [ 0.000000] memory[0x1] [0x0000000090200000-0x000000025fffffff], 0x00000001cfe00000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0

)

Morever, about "mem" parameter.

When parsing the mem parameter for the first time, all memblock.memory is removed. For NUMA, memblock.memory contain important node information. These information are imported at plat_mem_setup(). Without these node information, the NUMA platform
may not be able to use memory correctly.

The mem parameter is rarely used, but it has meaning. For example, kdump. I have
done some fixes before, but it looks fool.

Huacai suggested me that use pa_to_nid().

memblock_add(start, size) -> memblock_add_node(start, size, pa_to_nid(start))

I think this is a good way. Does anyone have other suggestions?

At last, should the NUMA platform reserve the kernel area after parse "mem" rather than before it?

Thanks,
Jinyang
