If there is a initramfs linked into the kernel which will be freed later on there is free memory somewhere between _etext and _end, thus using _end for min_low_pfn is not correct. This may lead to issues in dma_capable when checking 'min(addr, end) < phys_to_dma(dev, PFN_PHYS(min_low_pfn)))' as the address addr might be below min_low_pfn. Picked find_limits from architecture arm for applying min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn. Maybe using _etext for min_low_pfn would be fine too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
