Commit cca079ef8ac29a7c02192d2bad2ffe4c0c5ffdd0 changed sparc32 to use memblocks instead of bootmem, but also made high memory available via memblock allocation which does not work together with e.g. phys_to_virt and can lead to kernel panic.
This changes back to only low memory being allocatable in the early stages, now using memblock allocation.

This is not needed for 4.9, and will not compile, as the problem it fixes was introduced in 4.19.
