It's unused in the default implementation, but the powerpc implementation in patch 8 uses it:

int arch_kexec_walk_mem(unsigned int type, bool top_down, void *data,
			int (*func)(u64, u64, void *))
{
	int ret = 0;
	u64 i;
	phys_addr_t mstart, mend;

	if (top_down) {
		for_each_free_mem_range_reverse(i, NUMA_NO_NODE, 0,
						&mstart, &mend, NULL) {
			ret = func(mstart, mend, data);
			if (ret)
				break;
		}
	} else {
		for_each_free_mem_range(i, NUMA_NO_NODE, 0, &mstart, &mend,
					NULL) {
			ret = func(mstart, mend, data);
			if (ret)
				break;
		}
	}

	return ret;
}

Ok, renamed in the patch below.

    kexec_file: Generalize kexec_add_buffer.
    
    Allow architectures to specify different memory walking functions for
    kexec_add_buffer. Intel uses iomem to track reserved memory ranges,
    but PowerPC uses the memblock subsystem.
