    MIPS: loongsoon64: Reserve memory below starting pfn to prevent Oops · 6817c944

    The cause of the problem is as follows:
    1. when cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory0/valid_zones,
       test_pages_in_a_zone() will be called.
    2. test_pages_in_a_zone() finds the zone according to stat_pfn = 0.
       The smallest pfn of the numa node in the mips architecture is 128,
       and the page corresponding to the previous 0~127 pfn is not
       initialized (page->flags is 0xFFFFFFFF)
    3. The nid and zonenum obtained using page_zone(pfn_to_page(0)) are out
       of bounds in the corresponding array,
       &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)],
       access to the out-of-bounds zone member variables appear abnormal,
       resulting in Oops.
    Therefore, it is necessary to keep the page between 0 and the minimum
    pfn to prevent Oops from appearing.
