The reason that a want merge this patch is that
It confuse me when I debug memory issue by 
/sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved  debug file,
It show lots of un-correct reserved memory.
In fact, I also send a patch to cma driver part
For this issue too:
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/free-the-reserved-memblock-when-free-cma-pages.patch

I want to remove these un-correct memblock parts as much as possible,
so that I can see more correct info from /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved
debug file .
Could we not always call memblock_free() from free_reserved_area() (with
a dummy definition when !CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK)?
