Yeah, will use the addr directly here.

CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK ? Wrap it around the EXPORT_SYMBOL() or the

I did not get that completely. If CONFIG_HAVE_EARLY_SECTION_MEMMAP_HOLES is
not subscribed, then the platform must provide a method that identifies these
memmap holes and process them accordingly in pfn_valid() just to avoid null
pointer dereference ? Also the comment should be placed after the second
return statement, when its going to free unused memmap segments.
