Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] x86/mm: Add a kernel parameter to change the padding used for the physical memory mapping

From: Masayoshi Mizuma <m.mizuma@...fujitsu.com>

If the physical memory layout has huge space for memory hotplug,
the padding used for the physical memory mapping section is not enough.
For example of the layout:
  SRAT: Node 6 PXM 4 [mem 0x100000000000-0x13ffffffffff] hotplug
  SRAT: Node 7 PXM 5 [mem 0x140000000000-0x17ffffffffff] hotplug
  SRAT: Node 2 PXM 6 [mem 0x180000000000-0x1bffffffffff] hotplug
  SRAT: Node 3 PXM 7 [mem 0x1c0000000000-0x1fffffffffff] hotplug

We can increase the padding by CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY_PHYSICAL_PADDING,
however, the needed padding size depends on the physical memory layout
defined by SRAT. The kernel option is better than changing the config.
