The struct pages representing a reserved memory region are initialized
using reserve_bootmem_range() function. This function is called for each
reserved region just before the memory is freed from memblock to the buddy
page allocator.
The struct pages for MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions are kept with the default
values set by the memory map initialization which makes it necessary to
have a special treatment for such pages in pfn_valid() and
pfn_valid_within().
Just a general question while thinking about it:
Would we right now initialize the memmap of these pages already via
memmap_init_zone()->memmap_init_range()? (IOW, not marking the
PageReserved?)
