Hi Russell, Mike and Ard,

Per the discussion in the thread "[PATH] efi/arm: fix allocation failure ...",
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/8/21/163), I presume that the change to disregard
NOMAP memblocks in adjust_lowmem_bounds() should be separated as a single patch.

Please let me know if any suggestion, thank you.
