Change 73fbc1eba7ff added a fix to ensure that the memory range between PHYS_OFFSET and low memory address specified by mem= cmdline argument is not later processed by free_all_bootmem. This change was incorrect for systems where the commandline specifies more than 1 mem argument, as it will cause all memory between PHYS_OFFSET and each of the memory offsets to be marked as reserved, which results in parts of the RAM marked as reserved (Creator CI20's u-boot has a default commandline argument 'mem=256M@0x0 mem=768M@0x30000000').

Change the behaviour to ensure that only the range between PHYS_OFFSET and the lowest start address of the memories is marked as protected.

This change also ensures that the range is marked protected even if it's only defined through the devicetree and not only via commandline arguments.

Tested on: Creator Ci20 Creator Ci40 MIPS Boston UTM8 (Cavium Octeon III)

It certainly fixes the ci20 when it's factory default command line args of "mem=256M@0x0 mem=768M@0x30000000" are passed. Though those arguments appear redundant since without them both memory regions are detected through device tree instead, and there is no problem.
