Subject: [PATCH 20 of 36] paravirt/x86_64: move __PAGE_OFFSET to leave a space
	for hypervisor

From: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@...hat.com>
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@...rix.com>

Set __PAGE_OFFSET to the most negative possible address +
16*PGDIR_SIZE.  The gap is to allow a space for a hypervisor to fit.
The gap is more or less arbitrary, but it's what Xen needs.

When booting native, kernel/head_64.S has a set of compile-time
generated pagetables used at boot time.  This patch removes their
absolutely hard-coded layout, and makes it parameterised on
__PAGE_OFFSET (and __START_KERNEL_map).
