From: Torsten Duwe <duwe@xxxxxxx>
commit 49af7a2cd5f678217b8b4f86a29411aebebf3e78 upstream.
When initrd is loaded low, the secondary kernel fails like this:
INITRD: 0xdc581000+0x00eef000 overlaps in-use memory region
This initrd load address corresponds to the _end symbol, but the
reservation is aligned on PMD_SIZE, as explained by a comment in
setup_bootmem().
It is technically possible to align the initrd load address accordingly,
leaving a hole between the end of kernel and the initrd, but it is much
simpler to allocate the initrd top-down.
Fixes: 838b3e28488f ("RISC-V: Load purgatory in kexec_file")
