memblock_mark_mirror() is just a wrapper, maybe we should check this in
efi_find_mirror(). Otherwise, how do we explain the message printed out
at below in boot log if we don't mark mirror memory at all?
void __init efi_find_mirror(void)
{
......
if (mirror_size)
pr_info("Memory: %lldM/%lldM mirrored memory\n",
mirror_size>>20, total_size>>20);
}
