Subject: [PATCH 09/16] x86: make __VIRTUAL_MASK safe to use on 32 bit


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

We are going to do some calculations in a moment that are based on the
size of the virtual address space.  __VIRTUAL_MASK is currently unsafe
to use on 32-bit since it overflows an unsigned long with its shift.

The current version will emit a warning if used at all on 32-bit
kernels.

Add a version which is safe on 32-bit and consequently does not spit
out a warning.

Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>
