powerpc/40x: Limit allocable DRAM during early mapping
If the size of DRAM is not an exact power of two, we may not have
covered DRAM in its entirety with large 16 and 4 MiB pages. If that
is the case, we can get non-recoverable page faults when doing the
final PTE mappings for the non-large page PTEs.
Consequently, we restrict the top end of DRAM currently allocable
by updating '__initial_memory_limit_addr' so that calls to the LMB to
allocate PTEs for "tail" coverage with normal-sized pages (or other
reasons) do not attempt to allocate outside the allowed range.
