Take care of nr_pages not being a power of two and start not being
properly aligned. Essentially, what walk_system_ram_range() could provide
to us. get_order() will round-up in case it's not a power of two.
This should only apply to memory blocks that contain strange memory
resources (especially with holes), not to ordinary DIMMs.

order")
