powerpc: Force memory size to be a multiple of PAGE_SIZE
Ensure that total memory size is page-aligned, because otherwise
mark_bootmem() gets upset.

This error case was triggered by using 64 KiB pages in the kernel
while arch/powerpc/boot/4xx.c arbitrarily reduced the amount of memory
by 4096 (to work around a chip bug that affects the last 256 bytes of
physical memory).
