Subject: [PATCH 01/10] x86, mm: align start address to correct big page size

We are going to use buffer in BRK to pre-map final page table buffer.

Final page table buffer could be only page aligened, but around it are
still ram, we could use bigger page to map it to avoid small page.

We will probe to adjust page_size_mask in next patch to make big
page size could be used with small ram range.

Before that, this patch will make start address to be aligned down
according to bigger page size. otherwise entry in page page will
not have correct value.
