alpha: register early reserved memory in memblock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 640b7ea upstream.

The memory reserved by console/PALcode or non-volatile memory is not added
to memblock.memory.

Since commit fa3354e (mm: free_area_init: use maximal zone PFNs rather
than zone sizes) the initialization of the memory map relies on the
accuracy of memblock.memory to properly calculate zone sizes. The holes in
memblock.memory caused by absent regions reserved by the firmware cause
incorrect initialization of struct pages which leads to BUG() during the
initial page freeing:

Fix this by registering the reserved ranges in memblock.memory.
