[PATCH 1/3] x86, mm, 64bit: Put early page table high.

[Yinghai Lu]

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.

[    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 good, if we have lots of memory above 4g, like 1024g, or 2048g or 16T, will not put
related page table under 2g. that would be have chance to fill the under 2g if 1G or 2M page is
not used.

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.

it means __alloc_bootmem_nopanic() get too high for that aperture.

Use memblock_find_in_range() with limit directly.

[PATCH 3/3] memblock: Make find_memory_core_early() find from top-down

[Yinghai Lu]

That is used for find ram in node or bootmem type.

We should make it top-down so it will be consistent to memblock_find.

memblock: Make find_memory_core_early() find from top-down

That is used for find ram in node or bootmem type.

We should make it top-down so it will be consistent to memblock_find,
and to avoid allocating potentially valuable low memory before we
actually need it.
