Mantas found that after commit 4bf7111f5016 ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), the kernel freezes at the earliest possible moment when trying to boot via UEFI on Asus laptop. Revert to old way to load initrd under 4G on first try, second try will use above 4G buffer when initrd is too

Mantas found that after commit 4bf7111f5016 (x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G), the kernel freezes at the earliest possible moment when trying to boot via UEFI on Asus laptop. Revert to old way to load initrd under 4G on first try, second try will use above 4G buffer when initrd is too big
