ppc64: Fix a typo in the code that reserves memory at boot
PATCH 1/1 ppc64: Fix a typo in the code that reserves memory at boot
Hi !
The code that marks memory regions as "reserved" early during boot has a typo (doing incorrect rounding of the top address) which can cause some areas to not be properly reserved. That may explain some cases of initrd corruption reported recently.

Ok, ignore it and take Anton's one instead.
