In that commit Kevin wrote:
MIPS: Limit fixrange_init() to the FIXMAP region
fixrange_init() allocates page tables for all addresses higher than
FIXADDR_TOP. On processors that override the default FIXADDR_TOP
address of 0xfffe_0000, this can consume up to 4 pages (1 page per 4MB)
for pgd's that are never used.
And that's all also reintroduced. Think of bx 63xx which defines FIXADDR_TOP
as 0xff000000. Blindly rounding up to 0 for the end address doesn't cut it.
