[PATCH 1/3] zone init check and report unaligned zone boundries

[Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>]

zone init check and report unaligned zone boundries

We have a number of strict constraints on the layout of struct
page's for use with the buddy allocator.  One of which is that zone
boundries must occur at MAX_ORDER page boundries.  Add a check for
this during init.
