When using 64K pages with a separate cpio rootfs, U-Boot will align the roo=
tfs
on a 4K page boundary. When the memory is reserved, and subsequent early
memblock_alloc is called, it will allocate memory between the 64K page alig=
nment
and reserved memory. When the reserved memory is subsequently freed, it is =
done
so by pages, causing the early memblock_alloc requests to be re-used, which=
in
my case, caused the device-tree to be clobbered.
This patch forces initrd to be kernel page aligned, to match the mechanism =
used
to free reserved memory.
