The Linux kernel can be configured to use 64KB pages, but it also
requires initrd to be page aligned. Therefore, to be safe, align the
initrd to 64KB using a new INITRD_PAGE_MASK rather than
TARGET_PAGE_MASK.

This is kind of similar to the ARM bug fixed in 98ed805c3.
I wonder if we ought to have a per-CPU #define for "largest
possible page alignment for this architecture" as well as
"smallest possible" (the latter being TARGET_PAGE_MASK).

This patch is a reasonable enough way to fix things though,
so I'm not objecting to it.

Aside: given the repetitive nature of the context hunks
observable in this patch, it looks like it ought to be
possible to abstract out some of the initrd/kernel load
code from all those boards...

thanks

Yes, very similar. Although "largest possible" is probably quite Linux
specific so I'm not sure where it should really go (some arches support
pages up to 4MB and beyond, but obviously they're never used as basic
pages by Linux).

LINUX_MAXPAGE_MASK?

That thought did occur to me too :)
