Apparently it would for the cases we have now.
But it will fail same way as now if somebody will call memblock_reserve() and then
memblock_mark_nomap() for the same chunk before arm64_memblock_init().

For instance, slight order change in efi-init::reserve_regions() will
trigger the same fault... :(
