When using 64K pages with a separate cpio rootfs, U-Boot will align the rootfs on a 4K
page boundary. When the memory is reserved, and subsequent early memblock_alloc
is called, it will allocate memory between the 64K page alignment and reserved
memory. When the reserved memory is subsequently freed, it is done so by pages,
causing the early memblock_alloc requests to be re-used, which in my case, caused
the device-tree to be clobbered.

This patch forces all early reserved memory to be kernel page aligned, to match
the mechanism used to free reserved memory.
