This is 2nd file.
Implements initialization code for buddy allocator.


- Kame

------------

This patch removes bitmap allocation in zone_init_free_lists() and
page_to_bitmap_size();

calculate_aligned_end() works
(a) detects mem_map is aligned or not.
(b) if start of mem_map is not aligned, add PG_buddyend flags to pages
     which has no lower address buddy.
(c) if end of mem_map is not aligned, reserve it by reserve_bootmem()
