Please could we move this patch to later in the series, perhaps before
the patches to remove bootmem initialisation from Loongson3 / IP27? This
would vastly improve the bisectability of the series.
Either that, or less ideally, perhaps merge this patch with "MIPS:
memblock: Add reserved memory regions to memblock" since those 2
combined should be a more atomic change so more bisectable, if slightly
harder to review.

I think this debug info should be pr_debug (or removed from the final
version).
