Platforms like arm and arm64 have redefined pfn_valid() because their early
memory sections might have contained memmap holes after freeing parts of it
during boot, which should be skipped while validating a pfn for struct page
backing. This scenario on certain platforms where memmap is not continuous,
could be captured with a new option CONFIG_HAVE_EARLY_SECTION_MEMMAP_HOLES.
Then the generic pfn_valid() can be improved to accommodate such platforms.
This reduces overall code footprint and also improves maintainability.
free_unused_memmap() and pfn_to_online_page() have been updated to include
such cases. This also exports memblock_is_memory() for all drivers that use
pfn_valid() but lack required visibility. After the new config is in place,
drop CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID from arm64 platforms.

This patch applies on the latest mainline kernel after Mike's series
regarding arm64 based pfn_valid().
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210422061902.21614-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t
Changes in RFC V2:
- Dropped support for arm (32 bit)
- Replaced memblock_is_map_memory() check with memblock_is_memory()
- MEMBLOCK_NOMAP memory are no longer skipped for pfn_valid()
- Updated pfn_to_online_page() per David
- Updated free_unused_memmap() to preserve existing semantics per Mike
- Exported memblock_is_memory() instead of memblock_is_map_memory()
Changes in RFC V1:
