After we add code use buffer in BRK to pre-map page table, it should be safe to remove early_memmap for page table accessing. Instead we get panic with that.
It turns out we clear the initial page table wrongly for next range that is separated by holes. And it only happens when we are trying to map range one by one range separately. We need to check if the range is ram before clearing page table.
