Subject: [PATCH] ia64/mm: fix a bad_page bug when crash kernel booting

On ia64 platform, I set "crashkernel=1024M-:600M", and dmesg shows 128M-728M
memory is reserved for crash kernel. Then "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" to
test kdump.

When crash kernel booting, efi_init() will aligns the memory address in
IA64_GRANULE_SIZE(16M), so 720M-728M memory will be dropped, It means
crash kernel only manage 128M-720M memory.

But initrd start and end are fixed in boot loader, it is before efi_init(),
so initrd size maybe overflow when free_initrd_mem().

Here is the dmesg when crash kernel booting:

...
