It looks like everyone is doing something slightly different here:
* arm64 doesn't round to a page size, and has keep_initrd.
* arm calls poison_init_mem(), and has keep_initrd.
* sparc64 doesn't round, and doesn't have a keep_initrd.
* mips doesn't round, and doesn't have a keep_initrd.
* x86 rounds end to a page size but not start, and doesn't have a keep_initrd.
It feels like this should be something generic. I'm adding linux-kernel to see
what people think.
