[POWERPC] Introduce lowmem_end_addr to distinguish from total_lowmem
total_lowmem represents the amount of low memory, not the physical
address that low memory ends at. If the start of memory is at 0 it
happens that total_lowmem can be used as both the size and the address
that lowmem ends at (or more specifically one byte beyond the end).
To make the code a bit more clear and deal with the case when the start of
memory isn't at physical 0, we introduce lowmem_end_addr that represents
one byte beyond the last physical address in the lowmem region.
