Subject: [PATCH] i386: initialize end-of-memory variables as early as
	possible

Move initialization of all memory end variables to as early as
possible, so that dependent code doesn't need to check whether these
variables have already been set.

Change the range check in kunmap_atomic to actually make use of this
so that the no-mapping-estabished path (under CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM)
gets used only when the address is inside the lowmem area (and BUG()
otherwise).
