Kernel identity mappings on x86-64 kernels are created in two
ways: by the early x86 boot code, or by kernel_ident_mapping_init().
Native kernels (which is the dominant usecase) use the former,
but the kexec and the hibernation code uses kernel_ident_mapping_init().
There's a subtle difference between these two ways of how identity
mappings are created, the current kernel_ident_mapping_init() code
creates identity mappings always using 2MB page(PMD level) - while
the native kernel boot path also utilizes gbpages where available.
This difference is suboptimal both for performance and for memory
usage: kernel_ident_mapping_init() needs to allocate pages for the
page tables when creating the new identity mappings.
This patch adds 1GB page(PUD level) support to kernel_ident_mapping_init()
to address these concerns.
The primary advantage would be better TLB coverage/performance,
because we'd utilize 1GB TLBs instead of 2MB ones.
It is also useful for machines with large number of memory to
save paging structure allocations(around 4MB/TB using 2MB page)
when setting identity mappings for all the memory, after using
1GB page it will consume only 8KB/TB.
( Note that this change alone does not activate gbpages in kexec,
we are doing that in a separate patch. )

The low-level resume-from-hibernation code on x86-64 uses
kernel_ident_mapping_init() to create the temoprary identity mapping,
but that function assumes that the offset between kernel virtual
addresses and physical addresses is aligned on the PGD level.
However, with a randomized identity mapping base, it may be aligned
on the PUD level and if that happens, the temporary identity mapping
created by set_up_temporary_mappings() will not reflect the actual
kernel identity mapping and the image restoration will fail as a
result (leading to a kernel panic most of the time).
To fix this problem, rework kernel_ident_mapping_init() to support
unaligned offsets between KVA and PA up to the PMD level and make
set_up_temporary_mappings() use it as approprtiate.

It is simple version for kernel_physical_mapping_init.
it will work to build one page table that will be used later.
Use mapping_info to control
1. alloc_pg_page method
2. if PMD is EXEC,
3. if pgd is with kernel low mapping or ident mapping.
Will use to replace some local versions in kexec, hibernation and etc.

Now init_memory_mapping is called two times, later will be called for every
ram ranges.
Could put all related init_mem calling together and out of setup.c.
Actually, it reverts commit 1bbbbe7
x86: Exclude E820_RESERVED regions and memory holes above 4 GB from direct mapping.
will address that later with complete solution include handling hole under 4g.

Now that zone_sizes_init() is identical on 32-bit and 64-bit,
move the code to arch/x86/mm/init.c and use it for both
architectures.

e820_table_{start|end|top}, which are used to buffer page table
allocation during early boot, are now derived from memblock and don't
have much to do with e820. Change the names so that they reflect what
they're used for.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.
-v2: Ingo found that earlier patch "x86: Use early pre-allocated page
table buffer top-down" caused crash on 32bit and needed to be
dropped. This patch was updated to reflect the change.
-tj: Updated commit description.
