You don't need the above ifdef. The compiler will be able to cull the
code as long as memblock_bottom_up() is defined as constant
expression when !MOVABLE_NODE.

The same comment as before. Now we have two function with the
identical comment but behaving differently, which isn't nice.

Hmm... so, this is kinda weird. We're doing it in two chunks and
mapping memory between ISA_END_ADDRESS and kernel_end right on top of
ISA_END_ADDRESS? Can't you give enough information to the mapping
function so that it can map everything on top of kernel_end in single
go?
Thanks.
