powerpc/mm: Align memory_limit value specified using mem= kernel parameter
The value specified for the memory limit is used to set a restriction on memory usage. It is important to ensure that this restriction is within the linear map kernel address space range. The hash page table translation uses a 16MB page size to map the kernel linear map address space. htab_bolt_mapping() function aligns down the size of the range while mapping kernel linear address space. Since the memblock limit is enforced very early during boot, before we can detect the type of memory translation (radix vs hash), we align the memory limit value specified as a kernel parameter to 16MB. This alignment value will work for both hash and radix translations.
