Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") optimized the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But there is
still some room for improvement. E.g. if pfn and pfn+1 are in the same
memblock region, we can simply pfn++ instead of doing the binary search
in memblock_next_valid_pfn. This patch only works when
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID is enable.

So the function is only defined with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID but
it's called with CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP? The definition should
likely depend on both options as the function really depends on both
conditions. Otherwise it should be defined nop.

Yes, thanks
