For kexec_file loading, if kexec_buf.top_down is 'true', the memory which is used to load kernel/initrd/purgatory is supposed to be allocated from top to down. This is also consistent with the old kexec loading interface. However, the current arch_kexec_walk_mem() doesn't do like this. It ignores checking kexec_buf.top_down, bug calls walk_system_ram_res() directly to go through all resources of System RAM, to try to find memory region which can contain the specific kexec buffer, then call locate_mem_hole_callback() to allocate memory in that found memory region from top to down. This is not right. Here add checking if kexec_buf.top_down is 'true' in arch_kexec_walk_mem(), if yes, call the newly added walk_system_ram_res_rev() to find memory region from top to down to load kernel.
