Another choice to organize code is to use different step (memblock_size
vs. size) in "for" loop.

It's not necessary in this patchset. It appears that we cannot create
1GB mapping if we put memmap on memory now, right? If so, is it doable
to support that via separating creating memory mapping from
arch_add_memory()?

If mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory(), we will call
firmware_map_add_hotplug() for whole range. But here we may call
firmware_map_remove() for part of range. Is it OK?
