For ages memblock_free() interface dealt with physical addresses even
despite the existence of memblock_alloc_xx() functions that return a
virtual pointer.

Introduce memblock_phys_free() for freeing physical ranges and repurpose
memblock_free() to free virtual pointers to make the following pairing
abundantly clear:

	int memblock_phys_free(phys_addr_t base, phys_addr_t size);
	phys_addr_t memblock_phys_alloc(phys_addr_t base, phys_addr_t size);

	void *memblock_alloc(phys_addr_t size, phys_addr_t align);
	void memblock_free(void *ptr, size_t size);

Replace intermediate memblock_free_ptr() with memblock_free() and drop
unnecessary aliases memblock_free_early() and memblock_free_early_nid().

I'm a bit lost. IIUC memblock_free_early() and memblock_free() where identical.

In the first hunk memblock_free() gets replaced by memblock_phys_free()
In the second hunk memblock_free_early() gets replaced by memblock_free()

I think it would be easier to follow if you could split it in several patches: - First patch: Create memblock_phys_free() and change all relevant memblock_free() to memblock_phys_free() - Or change memblock_free() to memblock_phys_free() and make memblock_free() an alias of it. - Second patch: Make memblock_free_ptr() become memblock_free() and change all remaining callers to the new semantics (IIUC memblock_free(__pa(ptr)) becomes memblock_free(ptr) and make memblock_free_ptr() an alias of memblock_free()
- Fourth patch: Replace and drop memblock_free_ptr()
- Fifth patch: Drop memblock_free_early() and memblock_free_early_nid() (All users should have been upgraded to memblock_free_phys() in patch 1 or memblock_free() in patch 2)
