Commit 4dffbfc48d65 ("arm64/efi: mark UEFI reserved regions as
MEMBLOCK_NOMAP") causes a potential problem in arm64 initrd relocation
code. If the kernel uses a pagesize greater than the 4k pagesize used
by UEFI, pagesize rounding may lead to one or both ends of the initrd
image to be marked unmapped. This leads to a panic when the kernel goes
to unpack it. This patch looks for unmapped pages at beginning and end
of the initrd image and if seen, relocated the initrd to a new area
completely covered by the kernel linear map.

The Fedora folks have run into this problem with a certain kernel build. What ever
happened to Ard's suggested fix. The MEMBLOCK_NOMAP patch caused a regression which
should be fixed. Whether this patch, Ard's patch, or something else.
