    Revert "mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns where possible" · 99b6ead4
    Daniel Vacek authored
    commit f59f1caf upstream.
    
    This reverts commit b92df1de ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of
    invalid pfns where possible").  The commit is meant to be a boot init
    speed up skipping the loop in memmap_init_zone() for invalid pfns.
    
    But given some specific memory mapping on x86_64 (or more generally
    theoretically anywhere but on arm with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID) the
    implementation also skips valid pfns which is plain wrong and causes
    'kernel BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:1389!'
