[IA64] register memory ranges in a consistent manner
While pursuing and unrelated issue with 64Mb granules I noticed a problem
related to inconsistent use of add_active_range. There doesn't appear any
reason to me why FLATMEM versus DISCONTIG_MEM should register memory to
add_active_range with different code. So I've changed the code into a
common implementation.
The other subtle issue fixed by this patch was calling add_active_range in
count_node_pages before granule aligning is performed. We were lucky with
16MB granules but not so with 64MB granules. count_node_pages has reserved
regions filtered out and as a consequence linked kernel text and data
aren't covered by calls to count_node_pages. So linked kernel regions
wasn't reported to add_active_regions. This resulted in free_initmem
causing numerous bad_page reports. This won't occur with this patch
because now all known memory regions are reported by
register_active_ranges.
