Commit cca079ef8ac29a7c02192d2bad2ffe4c0c5ffdd0 changed sparc32 to use
memblocks instead of bootmem, but also made high memory available via
memblock allocation which does not work together with e.g. phys_to_virt
and can lead to kernel panic.
This changes back to only low memory being allocatable in the early
stages, now using memblock allocation.

This is not needed for 4.14, and will not compile, as the problem it
fixes was introduced in 4.19.
I'll drop it, thanks!
