I like how this simplify things!

Please consider how you can also cover the HIGHMEM case,
so map_high_region(...) is simplified too (in init_32.c).

If you change free_initmem_default(...) to return number of pages freed this
could have been used here.

Please add poison POISON_FREE_INITMEM here. I know this was not done before.
