ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK is (AFAIK) only a hack for arm64 to implement
pfn_valid(), because they zap out individual pages corresponding to
memory holes of full sections.

I am not a friend of adding more post-init code to rely on memblock
data. It just makes it harder to eventually get rid of ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.

... and we are trying to handle the "only a single dummy node" case
(patch #2), or what am I missing? What is there to optimize currently?
