Commit cca079ef8ac29a7c02192d2bad2ffe4c0c5ffdd0 changed sparc32 to use
memblocks instead of bootmem, but also made high memory available via
memblock allocation which does work together with e.g. phys_to_virt and
leads to crashes.

This changes back to only low memory being allocatable in the early
stages, now using memblock allocation.
