Subject: MIPS: bootmem: Fix mapstart calculation for contiguous maps
From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 88d3426942d748b90b051b7ef2d5d765f5f3054c upstream.
Commit a6335fa1 fixed the case with gap between initrd and next usable PFN zone,
but broken the case when initrd is combined with usable memory into one region
(in add_memory_region()). Restore the fixup initially brought in by f9a7febd.
