If I read the patch correctly, it wouldn't actually change the pagetable
allocation flow or implement Peter's suggestion.
However it would pre-map (pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top) using brk memory.
So, if that's correct, we could remove the early_memremap call from
alloc_low_page and map_low_page, right?
Also the patch introduces an additional range of pagetable pages
(early_pgt_buf_start-early_pgt_buf_top) and that would need to be
communicated somehow to Xen (that at the moment assumes that the range
is pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top. Pretty bad).
Overall I still prefer Peter's suggestion :)
