Merge tag 'memblock-6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rppt/memblock

Browse Source 
Pull memblock update from Mike Rapoport:
 "Introduce a 'check_pages' boot parameter to decouple simple checks for
  page state on allocation and free from CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

  This allows enabling page checking without building kernel with
  CONFIG_DEBUG_VM or forcing init_on_{alloc, free} or other heavier
  mechanisms"
