Subject: [PATCH] [1/7] Implement true end_pfn_mapped for 32bit


[Old patch; repost, but needed for further patches in the series]

Even on 32bit 2MB pages can map more memory than is in the true
max_low_pfn if end_pfn is not highmem and not aligned to 2MB. 
Add a end_pfn_map similar to x86-64 that accounts for this 
fact. This is important for code that really needs to know about
all mapping aliases.
