Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") tried to optimize the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But
there is still some room for improvement.
Patch 1 remain the memblock_next_valid_pfn on arm and arm64
Patch 2 optimizes the memblock_next_valid_pfn()
Patch 3~5 optimizes the early_pfn_valid()
As for the performance improvement, after this set, I can see the time
overhead of memmap_init() is reduced from 41313 us to 24345 us in my
armv8a server(QDF2400 with 96G memory).
Attached the memblock region information in my server.
