On some SGI machines (IP28 and IP30) a small region of memory is mirrored
to pyhsical address 0 for exception vectors while rest of the memory
is reachable at a higher physical address. ARC PROM marks this
region as reserved, but with commit a94e4f24ec83 ("MIPS: init: Drop
boot_mem_map") this chunk is used, when searching for start of ram,
which breaks at least IP28 and IP30 machines. To fix this
add_region_memory() checks for start address < PHYS_OFFSET and ignores
these chunks.

Fixes: a94e4f24ec83 ("MIPS: init: Drop boot_mem_map")
