+/**
+ * __next_free_mem_range - next function for for_each_free_mem_range()
+ * @idx: pointer to u64 loop variable
+ * @nid: nid: node selector, %MAX_NUMNODES for all nodes
+ * @p_start: ptr to phys_addr_t for start address of the range, can be %NULL
+ * @p_end: ptr to phys_addr_t for end address of the range, can be %NULL
+ * @p_nid: ptr to int for nid of the range, can be %NULL
+ *
+ * Find the first free area from *@idx which matches @nid, fill the out
+ * parameters, and update *@idx for the next iteration.  The lower 32bit of
+ * *@idx contains index into memory region and the upper 32bit indexes the
+ * areas before each reserved region.  For example, if reserved regions
+ * look like the following,
+ *
+ *	0:[0-16), 1:[32-48), 2:[128-130)
+ *
+ * The upper 32bit indexes the following regions.
+ *
+ *	0:[0-0), 1:[16-32), 2:[48-128), 3:[130-MAX)
+ *
+ * As both region arrays are sorted, the function advances the two indices
+ * in lockstep and returns each intersection.
