[IA64] align high endpoint of VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP

Assure that vmem_map's high endpoint is MAX_ORDER aligned. Not doing so violates
the buddy allocator algorithm. Also anyone using mem=XXX on boot line and
not aligned to MAX_ORDER requires this patch in order to satisfy buddy
allocator. vmem_map always starts at pfn 0. The potentially large MAX_ORDER
on ia64 (due to hugetlbfs) requires that the end of vmem_map be aligned
to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.

This was boot tested for: FLATMEM, FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP,
DISCONTIGMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP and SPARSEMEM.
