[HMM 04/16] mm/ZONE_DEVICE/x86: add support for un-addressable device memory

["Jérôme Glisse" <jglisse@redhat.com>]

It does not need much, just skip populating kernel linear mapping
for range of un-addressable device memory (it is pick so that there
is no physical memory resource overlapping it). All the logic is in
share mm code.

Only support x86-64 as this feature doesn't make much sense with
constrained virtual address space of 32bits architecture.
