Finally it takes about 55s to create 16400 memory entries.
Root cause: for x86_64, 2048g (with 2g hole at [2g,4g), and TOP2 will be 2050g), will have 16400 memory block.
find_memory_block/subsys_find_device_by_id will be expensive with that many entries.
Actually, we don't need to find that memory block for BOOT path.
Skip that finding make it get back to normal.

[ 35.290080] memory_dev_init done
Also solved the delay with topology_init when sections_per_block is not 1.
