Serge reported some crashes with CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled
on a book3s32 machine.
Analysis shows two issues:
- BATs addresses and sizes are not properly aligned.
- There is a gap between the last address covered by BATs and the
first address covered by pages.

This patch fixes both issues. With the patch, we get the following
which is as expected:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
