adjust_lowmem_bounds() checks every memblocks in order to find the boundary
between lowmem and highmem. However some memblocks could be marked as NOMAP
so they are not used by kernel, which should be skipped while calculating
the boundary.

Let's add this one to the series:

Subject: [PATCH] arm: ensure that usable memory in bank 0 starts from a
PMD-aligned address
The calculation of memblock_limit in adjust_lowmem_bounds() assumes that
bank 0 starts from a PMD-aligned address. However, the beginning of the
first bank may be NOMAP memory and the start of usable memory
will be not aligned to PMD boundary. In such case the memblock_limit will
be set to the end of the NOMAP region, which will prevent any memblock
allocations.
Mark the region between the end of the NOMAP area and the next PMD-aligned
address as NOMAP as well, so that the usable memory will start at
PMD-aligned address.

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.
