Subject: [PATCH v6 1/3] x86/mm: Add a kernel parameter to change the padding used for the physical memory mapping

If each node of physical memory layout has huge space for hotplug,
the padding used for the physical memory mapping section is not enough.
For exapmle 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 via CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY_PHYSICAL_PADDING,
however, the needed padding size depends on the system environment.
The kernel option is better than changing the config.
