[PATCH v7 3/4] arm64: Make use of memblock_isolate_memory for the linear mapping

From: Alexandre Ghiti
Date: Fri Mar 10 2023 - 04:49:32 EST


In order to isolate the kernel text mapping, we used some sort of hack
to isolate the kernel text range which consisted in marking this region
as not mappable with memblock_mark_nomap. Simply use the newly introduced
memblock_isolate_memory function which does exactly the same but does not
uselessly mark the region as not mappable.
