This stands to absolutely cripple I/O performance on arm64, because 
every valid call will end up going off and scanning the memblock list, 
which is not something we want on a fastpath in non-debug 
configurations. We'd need a much better solution to the "pfn_valid() vs. 
EFI no-map" problem before this might be viable.
