In 5.10 the hackkit defconfig does not select ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK which is
required for memblock_is_map_memory() to function after boot.

In upstream kernels ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK is always selected by ARM after
commit 5e545df3292f ("arm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL")

So the fix would be either to backport 5e545df3292f or unconditionally
select ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK on ARM in 5.10.

(the same applies to 5.4)

Greg, what is your preference?
