Subject: [014/105] x86-64, mm: Put early page table high

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@...nel.org>

commit 4b239f458c229de044d6905c2b0f9fe16ed9e01e upstream.

While dubug kdump, found current kernel will have problem with crashkernel=512M.

It turns out that initial mapping is to 512M, and later initial mapping to 4G
(acutally is 2040M in my platform), will put page table near 512M.
then initial mapping to 128g will be near 2g.

[    0.000000] Reserving 512MB of memory at 368MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 133120MB)

It means with the patch, page table for [0, 2g) will need 2g, instead of under 512M,
page table for [4g, 128g) will be near 128g, instead of under 2g.

That would good, if we have lots of memory above 4g, like 1024g, or 2048g or 16T, will not put
related page table under 2g. that would be have chance to fill the under 2g if 1G or 2M page is
not used.

the code change will use add map_low_page() and update unmap_low_page() for 64bit, and use them
to get access the corresponding high memory for page table setting.
