[PATCH v8 2/4] mm: Introduce memblock_isolate_memory

From: Alexandre Ghiti <hidden>
Date: 2023-03-16 13:20:08
Also in: linux-devicetree, linux-mm, linux-riscv, lkml
Subsystem: memblock and memory management initialization, memory management, the rest · Maintainers: Mike Rapoport, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

This function allows to split a region in memblock.memory and will be
useful when setting up the linear mapping with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX: it
allows to isolate the kernel text/rodata and then avoid to map those
regions with a PUD/P4D/PGD.
