Subject: [PATCH 4.9 117/151] ARM: 8904/1: skip nomap memblocks while finding the lowmem/highmem boundary

From: Chester Lin <clin@...e.com>

commit 1d31999cf04c21709f72ceb17e65b54a401330da upstream.

adjust_lowmem_bounds() checks every memblocks in order to find the boundary
between lowmem and highmem. However some memblocks could be marked as NOMAP
so they are not used by kernel, which should be skipped while calculating
the boundary.
