Subject: [PATCH] x86: numa32 make sure get kva space


when 1/3 user/kernel is used, and less memory is installed, or have big hole
below 4g, max_low_pfn is still using 3g-128m

try to go down from max_low_pfn until get it. otherwise will panic.

need to make 32bit code to use register_e820_active_regions...later
