Then we should certainly clarify that in the comments! :P But for the memory hotunplug case, that's most likely why that code was added. And it only deals with ordinary system RAM, not weird reservations you describe below. > Some regions in memblock.reserved are boot time allocations and they are indeed a > subset of memblock.memory, but some are reservations done by firmware (e.g. > reserved memory in DT) that just might not have a corresponding regions in > memblock.memory.
