devm_memremap_pages is initializing struct pages in for_each_device_pfn
and that can take quite some time. We have even seen a soft lockup
triggering on a non preemptive kernel
NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#61 stuck for 22s! [kworker/u641:11:1808]

fix this by adding cond_resched every 1024 pages.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
