[PATCH 02/11] x86, mm, 64bit: Put early page table high.

While dubug kdump, found current kernel will have problem with crashkernel=512M.

It turns out that initial mapping is to 512M, and later initial mapping to 4G
(acutally is 2040M in my platform), will put page table near 512M.
then initial mapping to 128g will be near 2g.

before this patch:

[ 0.000000] Reserving 512MB of memory at 368MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 133120MB)

It means with the patch, page table for [0, 2g) will need 2g, instead of under
512M,page table for [4g, 128g) will be near 128g, instead of under 2g.

That would be good, if we have lots of memory above 4g, like 1024g, or 2048g or
16T, will not put related page table under 2g.

the code change will use add map_low_page() and update unmap_low_page() for
64bit, and use them to get access the corresponding high memory for page table
setting.
