What makes you say that?

Wrong functions!  Furhtermore, at least the tip tree definitely does not
have __init_memblock here:


static int memblock_search(struct memblock_type *type, phys_addr_t addr)
{
        unsigned int left = 0, right = type->cnt;

        do {
                unsigned int mid = (right + left) / 2;

                if (addr < type->regions[mid].base)
                        right = mid;
                else if (addr >= (type->regions[mid].base +
                                  type->regions[mid].size))
                        left = mid + 1;
                else
                        return mid;
        } while (left < right);
        return -1;
}

int __init memblock_is_reserved(phys_addr_t addr)
{
        return memblock_search(&memblock.reserved, addr) != -1;
}

int memblock_is_memory(phys_addr_t addr)
{
        return memblock_search(&memblock.memory, addr) != -1;
}

int memblock_is_region_memory(phys_addr_t base, phys_addr_t size)
{
        int idx = memblock_search(&memblock.reserved, base);

        if (idx == -1)
                return 0;
        return memblock.reserved.regions[idx].base <= base &&
                (memblock.reserved.regions[idx].base +
                 memblock.reserved.regions[idx].size) >= (base + size);
}


... so I don't know why you're saying that you already have them.
