Looks good.

One minor thing that I would like to change in memblock.c is the
useage phys_addr_t for size. I understand the reasoning behind this
choice, but could we do something like:

typedef phys_addr_t phys_size_t;
It would be similar to resource_size_t. I just think the code and
function prototypes would look better with proper typing.

Thank you,
Pavel
