Hi Philipp,

For some archs, like arm64, would use memblock.memory after system booting,
so we can not simply released to the buddy allocator, maybe need !defined(CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK).

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID
int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
return memblock_is_memory(pfn << PAGE_SHIFT);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(pfn_valid);

Thanks,
Jianguo Wu
