Subject: [PATCH 04/12] x86_64: reserve dma32 early for gart

[PATCH] x86_64: reserve dma32 early for gart

one system with 256g when numa is disabled said:

Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM
Cannot allocate aperture memory hole (ffff8101c0000000,65536K)
Kernel panic - not syncing: Not enough memory for aperture
Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.25-rc4-x86-latest.git #33

 [<ffffffff8479ff35>] start_kernel+0x295/0x380
 [<ffffffff8479f1c2>] _sinittext+0x1c2/0x230

the root cause is : memmap PMD is too big,
[ffffe200e0600000-ffffe200e07fffff] PMD ->ffff81383c000000 on node 0
almost near 4G..., and vmemmap_alloc_block will use up the ram under 4G.

solution will be:
1. make memmap allocation get memory above 4G...
2. reserve some dma32 range early before we try to set up memmap for all.
and release that before pci_iommu_alloc, so gart or swiotlb could get some
range under 4g limit for sure.

the patch is using method 2.
because method1 may need more code to handle SPARSEMEM and SPASEMEM_VMEMMAP

will get
