If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Catalin Marinas commit 0145058c3d30b4319d747f64caa16a9cb15f0581 upstream. This patch partially reverts commit 421520ba98290a73b35b7644e877a48f18e06004 (only the arm64 part). There is no guarantee that the boot-loader places other images like dtb in a different page than initrd start/end, especially when the kernel is built with 64KB pages. When this happens, such pages must not be freed. The free_reserved_area() already takes care of rounding up "start" and rounding down "end" to avoid freeing partially used pages.
