Subject: [PATCH v1] csky: use free_initmem_default() in free_initmem()

The existing code is essentially
free_initmem_default()->free_reserved_area() without poisoning.

Note that existing code missed to update the managed page count of the
zone.

You can pick a cross-compiler from here:

Thanks for triggering a build/test! I'd be curious if there is an easy
way to trigger this myself (I assume, fork csky buildroot on gitlab,
reroute CSKY kernel repo, adjust CSKY_LINUX_NEXT_VERSION); if so, it
would be worth documenting - thanks!

Thanks Mike for the valuable links :) For now I was only relying on
cross-compilers as shipped by Fedora, now I can upgrade my cross-build
environment :)

1. You can just simple fork our project, and enable your gitlab share-runner.
2. Modify https://gitlab.com/c-sky/buildroot/-/blob/master/package/csky-arch/csky-arch.mk
Line 28: CSKY_ARCH_SITE = $(call github,c-sky,csky-linux,$(CSKY_ARCH_VERSION)) to your own forked our kernel repo
Line 49: CSKY_LINUX_NEXT_VERSION = f0bbf052ae463b3802f1c7ba36b36da2f54945f2 change the version as you want

You also need to remove some unused entries in .gitlab.yml.
