Subject: [bugfix] mm: zone_end_pfn is too small

Booting with 32 TBytes memory hits BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:552! (output below).

The key hint is "page 4294967296 outside zone".
4294967296 = 0x100000000 (bit 32 is set).

The problem is in include/linux/mmzone.h:

530 static inline unsigned zone_end_pfn(const struct zone *zone)
531 {
532         return zone->zone_start_pfn + zone->spanned_pages;
533 }

zone_end_pfn is "unsigned" (32 bits).  Changing it to 
"unsigned long" (64 bits) fixes the problem.

zone_end_pfn() was added recently in commit 108bcc96ef7047c02cad4d229f04da38186a3f3f.

Output from the failure.

  No AGP bridge found
