Subject: [patch] tip/x86_64: fix e820 merge issue which broke max_pfn_mapped

With out this 64bit tip/master doesn't boot using ACPI on my system.
---
 
max_pfn_mapped should include all e820 entries.
The direct mapping extends to max_pfn_mapped, so that we can directly access
apertures, ACPI and other tables without having to play with fixmaps.

With this, my system with 1GB memory boots fine with ACPI enabled.
