If we do arm_memblock_steal with a page which is not aligned with section size, panic can happen during boot by page fault in map_lowmem. Detail: 1) mdesc->reserve can steal a page which is allocated at 0x1ffff000 by memblock which prefers tail pages of regions. 2) map_lowmem maps 0x00000000 - 0x1fe00000 3) map_lowmem try to map 0x1fe00000 but it's not aligned by section due to 1. 4) calling alloc_init_pte allocates a new page for new pte by memblock_alloc 5) allocated memory for pte is 0x1fffe000 -> it's not mapped yet. 6) memset(ptr, 0, sz) in early_alloc_aligned got PANICed! This patch fix it by limiting memblock to mapped memory range.
