Sorry, just ignore my previous reply, I got that wrong.

I think it carefully, we can cap the memory range for [min(regs[*].start, max(regs[*].end)]
firstly. But how to remove the middle ranges, we still can't use memblock_cap_memory_range()
directly and the extra remove operation may be complex.

For more than one regions, i think add a new memblock_cap_memory_ranges() may be better.
Besides, memblock_cap_memory_ranges() is also applicable for one region.

How about replace memblock_cap_memory_range() with memblock_cap_memory_ranges()?
