Subject: [PATCH] memblock/nobootmem: Allow alloc_bootmem take 0 as low limit


bootmem wrapper with memblock support top-down now, So do not need set low limit
to __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS).

the logic should be: good to allocate above __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS), but it is ok if we
can not find above 16M on system that have small amount of RAM.

Need to apply this one after
	[PATCH] mm: Use alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic on really needed path
