SubjectRe: [PATCH v8 06/46] x86, mm: Change find_early_table_space() paramters

So this looks to introduce an extra split_mem_range which
does the same operations on 'mr' that is done in find_early_table_space.

Could the find_early_table_space use the init_memory_mapping
'mr' and 'nr_range'?

This is the call chain:
nr_range = split_mem_range(mr, nr_range, start, end)

..
if (!after_bootmem)
find_early_table_space(..)
nr_rnage = split_mem_range(mr, nr_range, start, end)

Perhaps you could modify find_early_table_space to just return
the nr_range (and also use the 'mr')?

And then you would do:

if (!after_bootmem)
nr_range = find_early_table_space(..)
else {
memset(mr, 0, sizeof(mr));
nr_range = split_mem_range(mr, 0, start, end);
}


Ah, I see you redid this in the next patch. Can you then point
this out in the commit description please? Say:

"The patch: x86, mm: Find early page table buffer together
tidies this up so we do not end up calling split_mem_range twice."
