During bootup, system may need the number of free pages in the whole system to do some calculation before all pages are freed to buddy system. Usually this number is get from totalram_pages(). Since we plan to move the free pages accounting in __free_pages_core(), this value may not represent total free pages at the early stage, especially when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled. Instead of using raw memblock api, let's introduce a new helper for user to get the estimated number of free pages from memblock point of view.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
