memblock_reserve() does not rely on paging_init() as it operates on
physical addresses and it does not care if memory was already registered.
What does rely on paging_init() it's phys_to_virt() in the line after
memblock_reserve():
initrd_start = (unsigned long)phys_to_virt(m68k_ramdisk.addr);
initrd_end = initrd_start + m68k_ramdisk.size;
So to have both memtest and initrd we'd need something like
memblock_reserve(m68k_ramdisk.addr, m68k_ramdisk.size);
paging_init() {
/* setup page tables and memblock */
early_memtest();
}
initrd_start = (unsigned long)phys_to_virt(m68k_ramdisk.addr);
or
paging_init(); /* without early_memtest() */
memblock_reserve(m68k_ramdisk.addr, m68k_ramdisk.size);
initrd_start = (unsigned long)phys_to_virt(m68k_ramdisk.addr);
early_memtest();
