Looks like we have precedence for min_low_pfn failures and we can't blame 
this poor commit :)

I wonder why we don't simply do EXPORT_SYMBOL() in mm/memblock.c, 
non-microblaze architectures do this themselves because it doesn't get 
generically exported:

arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(min_low_pfn);       /* defined by bootmem.c, but not exported by generic code */
arch/sh/kernel/sh_ksyms_32.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(min_low_pfn);

Adding Mike Rapoport.
