Ok, I realized I misunderstand all. Arm doesn't unmap memmap but reuse the page
for memmap without modifing ptes. My routine only works when ARM uses sparsemem_vmemmap.
But yes, it isn't.

Hmm...How about using pfn_valid() for FLATMEM or avoid using SPARSEMEM ?
If you want conrols lower than SPARSEMEM, FLATMEM works better because ARM unmaps memmap.
What is the reason for SPARSEMEM ?

Thanks,
