      x86/mm: account for PGDIR_SIZE alignment · 6af66ec5
      jerry.hoemann@hp.com authored
      Patch for 3.0-stable.  Function find_early_table_space removed upstream.
      
      Fixes panic in alloc_low_page due to pgt_buf overflow during
      init_memory_mapping.
      
      find_early_table_space sizes pgt_buf based upon the size of the
      memory being mapped, but it does not take into account the alignment
      of the memory.  When the region being mapped spans a 512GB (PGDIR_SIZE)
      alignment, a panic from alloc_low_pages occurs.
      
      kernel_physical_mapping_init takes into account PGDIR_SIZE alignment.
      This causes an extra call to alloc_low_page to be made.  This extra call
      isn't accounted for by find_early_table_space and causes a kernel panic.
      
      Change is to take into account PGDIR_SIZE alignment in find_early_table_space.
