It's unused in the default implementation, but the powerpc implementation in patch 8 uses it:

int arch_kexec_walk_mem(unsigned int type, bool top_down, void *data,
int (*func)(u64, u64, void *))
{
int ret = 0;
u64 i;
phys_addr_t mstart, mend;

if (top_down) {
for_each_free_mem_range_reverse(i, NUMA_NO_NODE, 0,
&mstart, &mend, NULL) {
ret = func(mstart, mend, data);
if (ret)
break;
}
} else {
for_each_free_mem_range(i, NUMA_NO_NODE, 0, &mstart, &mend,
NULL) {
ret = func(mstart, mend, data);
if (ret)
break;
}
}

return ret;
}

Ok, renamed in the patch below.

kexec_file: Generalize kexec_add_buffer.

Allow architectures to specify different memory walking functions for
kexec_add_buffer. Intel uses iomem to track reserved memory ranges,
but PowerPC uses the memblock subsystem.
