It looks like everyone is doing something slightly different here:

* arm64 doesn't round to a page size, and has keep_initrd.
* arm calls poison_init_mem(), and has keep_initrd.
* sparc64 doesn't round, and doesn't have a keep_initrd.
* mips doesn't round, and doesn't have a keep_initrd.
* x86 rounds end to a page size but not start, and doesn't have a keep_initrd.

It feels like this should be something generic.  I'm adding linux-kernel to see 
what people think.

Should I try to whip up something generic?

I think that'd be best.  Nobody has said anything specific, but it's generally 
been suggested to take bits that we copy into our port and make them generic.  
If there's no clean way do to so then I'm OK taking this, though.
