Subject: Re: [PATCH RFC] mm/memblock: Fix reserve_mem allocation overlapping KHO scratch regions

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the feedback.

This patch was sent as an RFC because I wanted to confirm whether the
overall approach is acceptable before preparing a fully tested version.
I will send a properly tested patch once I get confirmation that this
direction makes sense.

I’m reviewing how reserve_mem= paths are exercised so I can build an
appropriate test setup. Any guidance on recommended testing for this
area is appreciated.

Thanks,
Swaraj
