Erhard reported that kmemleak was showing a warning at boot:
kmemleak: Not scanning unknown object at 0xc00000007f000000
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.19.0-rc3-PMacG5+ #2
Call Trace:
.dump_stack_lvl+0x7c/0xc4 (unreliable)
.kmemleak_no_scan+0xe0/0x100
.iommu_init_early_dart+0x2f0/0x924

.setup_arch+0x1b8/0x674
.start_kernel+0xdc/0xb74
start_here_common+0x1c/0x44
DART table allocated at: (____ptrval____)
Which he bisected to a change in kmemleak, commit
23c2d497de21 ("mm: kmemleak: take a full lowmem check in kmemleak_*_phys()").
Because pmac_probe() is called before mem_topology_setup(), the min/
max PFN variables are still zero. That causes kmemleak_alloc_phys() to
ignore the allocation, because the checks against the PFN fail. Then
kmemleak_no_scan() can't find the allocation and prints warning.
Given that kmemleak_alloc_phys() is ignoring the allocation to begin
with, there's no need to call kmemleak_no_scan() at all, which avoids
the warning.
