SubjectRe: [PATCH V4 2/3] arm64: support initrd outside kernel linear map

With next-20150908, this patch results in a confusing message at boot when not
using an initrd:

Moving initrd from [4080000000-407fffffff] to [9fff49000-9fff48fff]

I think that can be solved by folding in the diff below.

Thanks,
Mark.
