As it seems, the new version of pfn_valid() decides that last pages are not
valid because of the overflow in memblock_overlaps_region(). As the result,
__sync_icache_dcache() skips flushing these pages.
The patch below should fix this. I've left the prints for now, hopefully
they will not appear anymore.
