[RFC] arm:extend the reserved mrmory for initrd to be page aligned

From: Wang, Yalin
Date: Mon Sep 15 2014 - 01:11:25 EST


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.
