Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] MIPS: Refactor early_parse_mem() to fix mem= parameter
According to Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt,
the kernel command-line parameter mem= means "Force usage of
a specific amount of memory", but when add "mem=3G" to the
command-line, kernel boot hangs in sparse_init(), the same
issue appears when add "mem=3G@64M".
Here are the logs with "mem=3G@64M memblock=debug" added to
the kernel command line before the hang:

As Mike Rapoport said, the kernel lives in 0x200000 and using
mem=3G@64M removes the memory with the kernel and also makes
the kernel think there is memory between 0x400000 and 0xf000000
while there seem to be a hole up to 0x90200000. This definitely
can be reason for the hangs.
This commit is similar with the implementation of the other
archs such as arm64, powerpc and riscv, refactor the function
early_parse_mem() and then use memblock_mem_range_remove_map()
to support mem=limit and mem=limit@...e (if @base is omitted,
it is equivalent to mem=limit).
With this patch, when add "mem=3G" to the command-line, the kernel boots
successfully, we can see the following messages:
[ 0.000000] Memory limited to 0MB-3072MB
...
[ 0.000000] Early memory node ranges
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000200000-0x000000000effffff]
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000000090200000-0x00000000ffffffff]
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x00000001613fffff]
...
[ 0.000000] Memory: 3005280K/3145728K available (...)
When add "mem=3G@64M" to the command-line, the kernel boots successfully,
we can see the following messages:
[ 0.000000] Memory limited to 64MB-3136MB
...
[ 0.000000] Early memory node ranges
[ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000000004000000-0x000000000effffff]

After login, the output of free command is consistent with the
above log.
