Ard, I was wondering if we can actually have this changed to something
like CONFIG_MEMBLOCK_PFN_VALID and shared instead of it being arm
specific? Is there a reason it's only usable for arm? The rest is
dependent on this, hence I suggested to place it close-by. But
generalizing it all would make it a lot cleaner.

arch/arm/mm/init.c:196:
#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID
int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
        return memblock_is_map_memory(__pfn_to_phys(pfn));
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(pfn_valid);
#endif

arch/arm64/mm/init.c:287:
#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID
int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
        return memblock_is_map_memory(pfn << PAGE_SHIFT);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(pfn_valid);
#endif
