The memblock iterating sounds a great idea. I tried with putting the
memblock iterating in the upper layer, memmap_init(), which is used for
boot mem only anyway. Do you think it's doable and OK? It yes, I can
work out a formal patch to make this simpler as you said. The draft code
is as below. Like this it uses the existing code and involves little change.
