Subject: Commit 722bc6b167 breaks booting on an 8TB system.

I just tried to boot an 8TB system.  It fails very early in boot with:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Cannot find space for the kernel page tables


A git bisect lead me to commit 722bc6b16771ed80871e1fd81c86d3627dda2ac8.

A git revert of that commit based on Linus' current as of a few hours ago
(commit fb21aff) does boot past that point on the 8TB configuration.

Thanks,
Robin
