Currently, resource tree allocates memory blocks while iterating on the
list. It leads to following kernel warning because memblock allocation
also invokes memory block reservation API.

This is also unnecessary as we can pre-compute the total memblocks required
for each memory region and allocate it before the loop. It save precious
boot time not going through memblock allocation code every time.

Thanks for your patch!

I never saw the warning (on linux-on-litex-vexriscv), but instead I got:

    Failed to add a Kernel code resource at 40001000

after Initmem setup. Adding some debug info to init_resources() showed
that the memblock.reserved list kept on increasing, until memory
corruption happened (pointers started to look like ASCII strings), the
error message above is printed, and after which the boot continued.
Changing L1_CACHE_SHIFT in arch/riscv/include/asm/cache.h to 5 fixed that.

With this patch, the error message above is no longer printed, so
Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

Noted that the kernel still crashes later, with

    Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 61636473

Again, 0x61636473 looks like ASCII, and your PATCH 3/4 for
L1_CACHE_SHIFT fixes that, too.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                        Geert

Looks good to me.
