  On LoongArch, the physical address (0 - 0xfff_ffff) is always memory, which
is in the low half of the memsection (0 - 0x1fff_ffff) with 512M size, and
the high half will be a hole which is not memory but I/O registers (of cpu
and chipset).

This situation may cause some issues. For example, during S3, these I/O registers
will be saved and restored as valid memory pages (pfn_valid() of common version
returns true for the whole memsection) which will cause exception, especially
on resume.

To avoid exceptions, we can use 256M memsection size, or use the way as ARM64 to
walk through all memory memblock to check if a mem pfn is valid which maybe
lower performance. For simplicity, this patch just use the former way.
