ARM: 7113/1: mm: Align bank start to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
The VM subsystem assumes that there are valid memmap entries from the bank start aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. On the Ux500 we have a lot of mem=N arguments on the commandline triggering this bug several times over and causing kernel oops messages.
