Jeremy Fitzhardinge 5deb30d194 xen: rework pgd_walk to deal with 32/64 bit
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.
