@ -46,11 +46,10 @@ maps the entire physical memory. For most architectures, the holes
have entries in the `mem_map` array. The `struct page` objects
corresponding to the holes are never fully initialized.
To allocate the `mem_map` array, architecture specific setup code
should call :c:func:`free_area_init_node` function or its convenience
wrapper :c:func:`free_area_init`. Yet, the mappings array is not
usable until the call to :c:func:`memblock_free_all` that hands all
the memory to the page allocator.

If an architecture enables `CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL` option,
it may free parts of the `mem_map` array that do not cover the
