Can this be done right after we add all the memblocks using the
memblock API? I thought EFI would also need to be handled, but looks
like it just calls early_init_dt_add_memory_arch(). That's odd
especially for ACPI systems...

I don't really like putting what looks like an arm64 only hook here,
but then I don't want an arm64 version of
early_init_dt_add_memory_arch() either. We're almost to the point of
getting rid of the arch specific ones. But I don't have a better
suggestion currently.
