OK, how's this?
ppc: force memory size to be a multiple of PAGE_SIZE
Ensure that total memory size is page-aligned, because otherwise
mark_bootmem() gets upset.
This error case was triggered by using 64 KiB pages in the kernel while
arch/powerpc/boot/4xx.c arbitrarily reduced the amount of memory by 4096 (to
work around a chip bug that affects the last 256 bytes of physical memory).
