The use of mem= could leave part or all of the initrd outside of the kernel linear map. This will lead to an error when unpacking the initrd and a probable failure to boot. This patch catches that situation and relocates the initrd to be fully within the linear map.With next-20150908, this patch results in a confusing message at boot when not using an initrd: Moving initrd from [4080000000-407fffffff] to [9fff49000-9fff48fff] I think that can be solved by folding in the diff below.
Mark, it looks like this fell by the wayside. Do you have any objection to this? I'll promote this to it's own patch if not. Mark.
