[PATCH v7 2/4] mm: Introduce memblock_isolate_memory

[Alexandre Ghiti]

This function allows to split a region in memblock.memory and will be
useful when setting up the linear mapping with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX: it
allows to isolate the kernel text/rodata and then avoid to map those
regions with a PUD/P4D/PGD.
