Subject: MIPS: fix mem=X@Y commandline processing
From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 73fbc1eba7ffa3bf0ad12486232a8a1edb4e4411 ]
When a memory offset is specified through the commandline, add the
memory in range PHYS_OFFSET:Y as reserved memory area.
Otherwise the bootmem allocator is initialised with low page equal to
min_low_pfn = PHYS_OFFSET, and in free_all_bootmem will process pages
starting from min_low_pfn instead of PFN(Y).
