Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/4] optimize memblock_next_valid_pfn() and early_pfn_valid()
Date:   Wed, 21 Mar 2018 01:09:52 -0700

Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") tried to optimize the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But
there is still some room for improvement.

Patch 1 optimized the memblock_next_valid_pfn()
Patch 2~4 optimized the early_pfn_valid(), I have to split it into parts
because the changes are located across subsystems.

I tested the pfn steping up process in memmap_init(), the same as before.
As for the performance improvement, after this set, I can see the time
overhead of memmap_init() is reduced from 41313 us to 24345 us in my
armv8a server(QDF2400 with 96G memory).

Attached the memblock region information in my server.
