commit d949b4fe upstream. Commit abe77f90 (MIPS: Octeon: Add kexec and kdump support) added a bootmem region for the kernel image itself. The problem is that this is rounded up to a 0x100000 boundary, which is memory that may not be owned by the kernel. Depending on the kernel's configuration based size, this 'extra' memory may contain data passed from the bootloader to the kernel itself, which if clobbered makes the kernel crash in various ways. The fix: Quit rounding the size up, so that we only use memory assigned to the kernel.
