When ident_pud_init() uses only gbpages to create identity maps, large ranges of addresses not actually requested can be included in the resulting table; a 4K request will map a full GB. On UV systems, this ends up including regions that will cause hardware to halt the system if accessed (these are marked "reserved" by BIOS). Even processor speculation into these regions is enough to trigger the system halt. Only use gbpages when map creation requests include the full GB page of space. Fall back to using smaller 2M pages when only portions of a GB page are included in the request. No attempt is made to coalesce mapping requests. If a request requires a map entry at the 2M (pmd) level, subsequent mapping requests within the same 1G region will also be at the pmd level, even if adjacent or overlapping such requests could have been combined to map a full gbpage. Existing usage starts with larger regions and then adds smaller regions, so this should not have any great consequence.
