Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Only create direct mappings for E820_RAM regions

This is a revision of an earlier attempt, with suggestions and concernes
from previous conversation (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/16/486) taken
into account.

The following patchset creates direct mappings only for E820_RAM regions
between 0 ~ max_low_pfn and 4GB ~ max_pfn. And leaves non-E820_RAM
unmapped.

Jacob Shin (5):
  x86: Only direct map addresses that are marked as E820_RAM
  x86: find_early_table_space based on memory ranges that are being
    mapped
  x86: Keep track of direct mapped pfn ranges
  x86: Fixup code testing if a pfn is direct mapped
  x86: Move enabling of PSE and PGE out of init_memory_mapping
