[PATCH v9 0/6] optimize memblock_next_valid_pfn and early_pfn_valid on arm and arm64

Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") tried to optimize the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But
there is still some room for improvement.

Patch 1 introduce new config to make codes more generic
Patch 2 remain the memblock_next_valid_pfn on arm and arm64
Patch 3 optimizes the memblock_next_valid_pfn()
Patch 4~6 optimizes the early_pfn_valid()

As for the performance improvement, after this set, I can see the time
overhead of memmap_init() is reduced from 27956us to 13537us in my
armv8a server(QDF2400 with 96G memory, pagesize 64k).

Attached the memblock region information in my server.
