[PATCH v2] ARM: mm: fix size rounding-down of arm_add_memory() function

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sun Dec 21 2014 - 22:19:20 EST


The current rounding of "size" is wrong:

- If "start" is sufficiently near the next page boundary, "size"
is decremented by more than enough and the last page is lost.

- If "size" is sufficiently small, it is wrapped around and gets
a bogus value.

Changes in v2:
- Avoid wrap around of "size"
