Subject: [PATCH] lguest: fix out-by-one error in address checking.

This bug has been there since day 1; addresses in the top guest
physical page weren't considered valid.  You could map that page (the
check in check_gpte() is correct), but if a guest tried to put a
pagetable there we'd check that address manually when walking it, and
kill the guest.
