* Once memblock is setup the memory can be allocated using either

* Once memblock is setup the memory can be allocated using one of the
* API variants:
*
* * :c:func:`memblock_phys_alloc*` - these functions return the
* **physical** address of the allocated memory
* * :c:func:`memblock_alloc*` - these functions return the **virtual**
* address of the allocated memory.

* Note, that both API variants use implict assumptions about allowed
* memory ranges and the fallback methods. Consult the documentation
* of :c:func:`memblock_alloc_internal` and
* :c:func:`memblock_alloc_range_nid` functions for more elaboarte
* description.

* As the system boot progresses, the architecture specific
* :c:func:`mem_init` function frees all the memory to the buddy page
