From: Marcin Nowakowski <[email protected]>
Change 73fbc1eba7ff added a fix to ensure that the memory range between
PHYS_OFFSET and low memory address specified by mem= cmdline argument is
not later processed by free_all_bootmem.
This change was incorrect for systems where the commandline specifies
more than 1 mem argument, as it will cause all memory between
PHYS_OFFSET and each of the memory offsets to be marked as reserved,
which results in parts of the RAM marked as reserved (Creator CI20's
u-boot has a default commandline argument 'mem=256M@0x0
mem=768M@0x30000000').
Change the behaviour to ensure that only the range between PHYS_OFFSET
and the lowest start address of the memories is marked as protected.
This change also ensures that the range is marked protected even if it's
only defined through the devicetree and not only via commandline
arguments.

Tested on:
Creator Ci20
Creator Ci40
MIPS Boston
UTM8 (Cavium Octeon III)
It certainly fixes the ci20 when it's factory default command line args
of "mem=256M@0x0 mem=768M@0x30000000" are passed. Though those arguments
appear redundant since without them both memory regions are detected
through device tree instead, and there is no problem.

Although practically it might not matter, technically phys_addr_t may be
64-bits (CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT) even on a 32-bit kernels, in which
case ~0UL may not be sufficiently large.
Maybe that should be ~(phys_addr_t)0, or perhaps (phys_addr_t)ULLONG_MAX
to match add_memory_region().

Is it worth incorporating this into the existing loop below ...

... and this then placed below that loop?
Otherwise I can't find fault with this patch, though i'm not intimately
familiar with bootmem.

Hi Marcin,
Since it's been a week, could you confirm the patch is ok as-is or do
you think some comment(s) from James should be incorporated ?

My fault, if this is the only change, I can re-submit.

I'll prepare an updated patch that includes James' suggestions - I think
they will lead to an overall cleaner (and probably slightly smaller) code.
