Subject: x86, mm: Trim memory in memblock to be page aligned
From: Yinghai Lu <[email protected]>
commit 6ede1fd3cb404c0016de6ac529df46d561bd558b upstream.
We will not map partial pages, so need to make sure memblock
allocation will not allocate those bytes out.
Also we will use for_each_mem_pfn_range() to loop to map memory
range to keep them consistent.
