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

[Mark Salter]

The use of mem= could leave part or all of the initrd outside of
the kernel linear map. This will lead to an error when unpacking
the initrd and a probable failure to boot. This patch catches that
situation and relocates the initrd to be fully within the linear
map.
