Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86, 64bit, gart: Fix allocation with memblock


When trying to change alloc_bootmem with memblock to go with real top-down
Found one old system:
[    0.000000] Node 0: aperture @ ac000000 size 64 MB
[    0.000000] Aperture pointing to e820 RAM. Ignoring.

[    0.000000] Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
[    0.000000] This costs you 64 MB of RAM

[    0.000000]        memblock_x86_free_range: [0x2020000000-0x2023ffffff]

it means __alloc_bootmem_nopanic() get too high for that aperture.

Use memblock_find_in_range() with limit directly.
