From: Daniel Vacek neelx@redhat.com
commit f59f1caf72ba00d519c793c3deb32cd3be32edc2 upstream.
This reverts commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns where possible"). The commit is meant to be a boot init speed up skipping the loop in memmap_init_zone() for invalid pfns.
But given some specific memory mapping on x86_64 (or more generally theoretically anywhere but on arm with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID) the implementation also skips valid pfns which is plain wrong and causes 'kernel BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:1389!'
