mm_init() happens after the point build_all_zonelists() and
page_alloc_init_cpuhp() were originally, so they are essentially moved
later in the init sequence and in either case called after setup_arch().

We skip the code below and it does not do neither cpu hotplug nor
non-memblock allocations.

	jump_label_init();
	parse_early_param();
	after_dashes = parse_args("Booting kernel",
				  static_command_line, __start___param,
				  __stop___param - __start___param,
				  -1, -1, NULL, &unknown_bootoption);
	print_unknown_bootoptions();
	if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(after_dashes))
		parse_args("Setting init args", after_dashes, NULL, 0, -1, -1,
			   NULL, set_init_arg);
	if (extra_init_args)
		parse_args("Setting extra init args", extra_init_args,
			   NULL, 0, -1, -1, NULL, set_init_arg);

	/* Architectural and non-timekeeping rng init, before allocator init */
	random_init_early(command_line);

	/*
	 * These use large bootmem allocations and must precede
	 * kmem_cache_init()
	 */
	setup_log_buf(0);
	vfs_caches_init_early();
	sort_main_extable();
	trap_init();
