[PATCH 3/5] mm/memblock: reduce overhead in binary search

[Wanpeng Li]

From: Wanpeng Li <liwanp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When checking the indicated address belongs to the memory
or reserved region, the memory or reserved regions are checked
one by one through binary search, which would be a little
time consuming. If the indicated address isn't in memory
region, then we needn't do the time-sonsuming search. The
patch adds more check on the indicated address for that purpose.
