All right. I will do it in my branch and not to submit patch for this.
This is definitely not the result I wanted to acchieve :-(
My first attempt was to find out if there was a particular reason to allocate from bottom up. If changing it causes too much trouble, we can keep it there until really necessary.
What exactly is the problem you're trying to fix? The fact that it's different is IMHO not enough of a reason to change it.
The problem is some bridges have 64K limitation on I/O space, which requires special care in allocation. I am fixing it in the kernel.
Maybe we can make this optional, so we can leave unaffected systems untouched, and/or give board maintainers time for a slower migration?
We can leave it untouched until all the fixing is done. We will decide from there.
