Subject: [PATCH 7/9] x86: make early_node_mem get mem > 4g if possible -v2


so we could put pgdata for the node high, and later sparse
vmmap will get the section nr that need.

with this patch will make <4g ram will not use sparse vmmap

before this patch, will get, before swiotlb try get bootmem

so will get enough space below 4G, aka pfn 0x100000
