mainlining shenanigans

sparc32 never registered the memory occupied by the kernel image with memblock_add() and it only reserved this memory with meblock_reserve(). With openbios as system firmware, the memory occupied by the kernel is reserved in openbios and removed from mem.available. The prom setup code in the kernel uses mem.available to set up the memory banks and essentially there is a hole for the memory occupied by the kernel image. Later in bootmem_init() this memory is memblock_reserve()d. Up until recently, memmap initialization would call __init_single_page() for the pages in that hole, the free_low_memory_core_early() would mark them as reserved and everything would be Ok. After the change in memmap initialization introduced by the commit "mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN", the hole is skipped and the page structs for it are not initialized. And when they are passed from memblock to page allocator as reserved, the latter gets confused. Simply registering the memory occupied by the kernel with memblock_add() resolves this issue. Tested on qemu-system-sparc with Debian Etch [1] userspace.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
