After switched to NO_BOOTMEM, there are several boot failures. Some of them have been fixed and some of them haven't. I find that many of them are because of memory allocations are top-down, while the old behavior is bottom-up. This patch let early memblock_alloc*() allocate memories bottom-up to avoid some potential problems.
