x86, ACPI, mm: Kill max_low_pfn_mapped

Now we have pfn_mapped[] array, and max_low_pfn_mapped should not
be used anymore. Users should use pfn_mapped[] or just
1UL<<(32-PAGE_SHIFT) instead.

The only user of max_low_pfn_mapped is ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE.
We could change to use 1U<<(32_PAGE_SHIFT) with it, aka under 4G.

Known problem:
There is another user of max_low_pfn_mapped: i915 device driver.
But the code is commented out by a pair of "#if 0 ... #endif".
Not sure why the driver developers want to do that.

-v2: Leave alone max_low_pfn_mapped in i915 code according to tj.
