Is anything that requires a memblock allocation FLATMEM?
Any fundamental reason why wouldn't alloc_pages_exact_nid/vzalloc_node()
work in this case?

It seems to me that for FLATMEM configuration we can allocate the
page_ext using alloc_pages() with a fallback to vzalloc_node() and then
we can unify lot's of page_ext code and entirely drop
page_ext_init_flatmem().
