this patch extend the start and end address of initrd to be page
aligned, so that we can free all memory including the un-page
aligned head or tail page of initrd, if the start or end address
of initrd are not page aligned, the page can't be freed by
free_initrd_mem() function.

(as I said, if Russell doesn't have any objections please send the
patch to his patch system)
I now have an objection.  The patches in the emails were properly
formatted.

They were so close ;)

I can see three patches but none of them exactly right:

8157/1 - wrong diff format
8159/1 - correct format, does not have my ack (you can take this one if
	 you want)
8162/1 - got my ack this time but with the wrong diff format again

Maybe a pull request is a better idea.
I have resend the 2 patches:
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=8167/1
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=8168/1
 
please have a look.

Thanks
