From: Mike Rapoport <redacted> Currently, initrd image is reserved very early during setup and then it might be relocated and re-reserved after the initial physical memory mapping is created. The "late" reservation of memblock verifies that mapped memory size exceeds the size of initrd, the checks whether the relocation~ then?
Right, thanks!

required and, if yes, relocates inirtd to a new memory allocated from memblock and frees the old location.
