asily use addresses when traversing the space, since we must deal with sign extension. This rewrite expresses everything in terms of pgd/pud/pmd indices, which means we don't need to worry about the exact configuration of the virtual memory space. This approach works equally well in 32-bit. To deal with 2, assume the hole is between the uppermost userspace address and PAGE_OFFSET. For 64-bit this skips the Xen mapping hole. For 32-bit, the hole is zero-sized. In all cases, the uppermost kernel address is FIXADDR_TOP. A side-effect of this patch is that the upper boundary is actually handled properly, exposing a long-standing bug in 32-bit, which failed to pin kernel pmd page. The kernel pmd is not shared, and so must be explicitly pinned, even though the kernel ptes are shared and don't need pinning.
