From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxx>
Linux doesn't own the memory immediately after the kernel image. On Octeon
bootloader places a shared structure right close after the kernel _end,
refer to "struct cvmx_bootinfo *octeon_bootinfo" in cavium-octeon/setup.c.
If check_kernel_sections_mem() rounds the PFNs up, first memblock_alloc()
inside early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch() <= device_tree_init() returns
memory block overlapping with the above octeon_bootinfo structure, which
is being overwritten afterwards.
Fixes: a94e4f24ec83 ("MIPS: init: Drop boot_mem_map")
