It is because dma_contiguous_reserve() is called before initmem_init() in x86,
the variable high_memory is not initialized but accessed by __pa(high_memory)
in dma_contiguous_reserve().
This patch moves dma_contiguous_reserve() after initmem_init() so that
high_memory is initialized before accessed.
