ARM: 8700/1: nommu: always reserve address 0 away

Some nommu systems have RAM at address 0. When vectors are not located
there, the very beginning of memory remains available for dynamic
allocations. The memblock allocator explicitly skips the first page
but the standard page allocator does not, and while it correctly returns
a non-null struct page pointer for that page, page_address() gives 0
which gets confused with NULL (out of memory) by callers despite having
plenty of free memory left.
