Please, no, don't break the memblock code now. I'm not reworking the
ARM implementation just as the merge window has opened - especially
as the ARM implementation has now been pulled into other people's
trees.

If there's changes to memblock which haven't been in linux-next (which,
as this is a new failure, that is most definitely the case), then they
shouldn't be going into this merge window.
