Subject: [PATCH] x86: let 'reservetop' functioning right

When specify 'reservetop=0xabc000' kernel parameter, kernel will hang
on boot due to a early_ioremap bug that relate to commit 8827247ff.

The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of 'slot_virt[i]'
was initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init. But later in
setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will modify 'FIXADDR_TOP'
when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified.

The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated value
of 'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference old value
from slot_virt[slot] directly.
