On some PAE architectures, the entire range of physical memory could reside

initrd location using 64-bit numbers.
This patch globally modifies the early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch() function to
use 64-bit numbers instead of the current unsigned long.
-void __init early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch(unsigned long start, unsigned long end)
+void __init early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch(u64 start, u64 end)
Why not phys_addr_t?
The rest of the memory specific bits of the device-tree code use u64 for
addresses, and I kept it the same for consistency.
