Hmm. No, I don't think that should be a problem. free_initmem() only

I'm inclined to agree that it _shouldn't_ be a problem. Nevertheless,
even this hack seems sufficient to 'fix' it:
Could be a powerpc specific bug in initrd handling... I'm still
traveling so I can't really look at it right now, but I wouldn't be
surprised if some of that code did indeed bitrot.
Ben.
Could there be some issue with initrd getting reserved properly via
prom_init.c. I know we make sure there are memreserve's in the fdt
for initrd on embedded ppc.
