It is a shame that we have very similar logic, all dependent on
memblock_start_of_DRAM(), in both zone_sizes_init() and
arm64_memblock_init() and the latter having to be called before the
former. I assume there's no way to make this cleaner in the bootstrap
code so the dma_to_phys(NULL, DMA_BIT_MASK(32)) + 1 limit can be handled
properly in a single location?
