Honestly, this just sounds like memblock being stupid in the first place.

Why aren't these zones padded to sane alignments?

This patch smells like working around the memblock code being fragile
rather than a real fix.

That's *particularly* true when the very line above it did a
"memblock_reserve()" of the exact same range that the memblock_add()
"adds".
