When determining the region of memory to allow for use by bootm, using
bi_memstart & adding bi_memsize can cause problems if that leads to an
integer overflow. For example on some MIPS systems bi_memstart would be
0xffffffff80000000 (ie. the start of the MIPS ckseg0 region) and if the
system has 2GB of memory then the addition would wrap around to 0.

The maximum amount of memory to be used by U-Boot is already accounted
for by the ram_top field of struct global_data, so make use of that for
the calculation instead.

What will wrap around to 0? Isn't gd->bd->bi_memsize equal to 2GB, and
gd->ram_top - start the same?
