Since I currently have your attention: I do think there is fundamental bug
in the ARM64 mm implementation. If you look at /sys/devices/system/memory
it only shows the last memoryX section created after init.

That directory doesn't seem to exist on my arm64 systems. Do I have to
enable something specific in the .config?
I looked in the /sys/devices/system/memory at it doesn't look like it appears until memory hotplug is enabled in the system. This is another patch I'm trying to work through at the same time:

The internals of the memory management subsystem is not something I'm too familiar with at this point.
