This is still not good enough. Please do this:

In commit f47233c2d34f we did A. The problem with that is B. Change the
code to do C.

Now you only have to fill out the A,B and C variables with the
respective text which is understandable even for people who don't know
this code.

early_memremap() needs its retval checked before accessing it.
