Subject: [patch v5] x86: page-alin initrd area size
Initrd memory is freed late and page-wise, so allocate full pages and
not share the last one with somebody else.
Also add a warning and a fixup in free_init_pages() to catch unaligned
ranges more explicitely in the future.

I am really fed up with you replying to one point of an email and
skipping over five others. So here is my version of the patch,
the maintainers can choose.
Differences:
o only align the allocation area size, no need to also copy
alignment bits in relocate_initrd()
o keep the alignment fixup in free_init_pages() out of line and
self-contained
