Rewrite pgd_walk to deal with 64-bit address spaces. There are two
notible features of 64-bit workspaces:
1. The physical address is only 48 bits wide, with the upper 16 bits
being sign extension; kernel addresses are negative, and userspace is
positive.
2. The Xen hypervisor mapping is at the negative-most address, just above
the sign-extension hole.
1. means that we can't easily use addresses when traversing the space,
since we must deal with sign extension. This rewrite expresses
everything in terms of pgd/pud/pmd indices, which means we don't need
to worry about the exact configuration of the virtual memory space.
This approach works equally well in 32-bit.
To deal with 2, assume the hole is between the uppermost userspace
address and PAGE_OFFSET. For 64-bit this skips the Xen mapping hole.
For 32-bit, the hole is zero-sized.
In all cases, the uppermost kernel address is FIXADDR_TOP.
A side-effect of this patch is that the upper boundary is actually
handled properly, exposing a long-standing bug in 32-bit, which failed
to pin kernel pmd page. The kernel pmd is not shared, and so must be
explicitly pinned, even though the kernel ptes are shared and don't
need pinning.
