It cannot work here.
> Another problem: how to check whether the entry uses bootmem?
When firmware_map_entry is allocated by kzalloc(), the page has PG_slab.
So we can check whether the entry was allocated by bootmem or not.
If the eantry was allocated by kzalloc(), we can free the entry by kfree().
But if the entry was allocated by bootmem, we have no way to free the entry.
