The LKP test robot reported that the bug fix in commit f5f3497cad8c
("x86/setup: Extend low identity map to cover whole kernel range")
causes CONFIG_X86_32 SMP machines to crash on boot when trying to
bring AP cpus online.The above commit erroneously copies too many of the PGD entries to the low memory region of 'identity_page_table', resulting in some of the kernel mappings for PAGE_OFFSET being trashed because, KERNEL_PGD_PTRS > KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY The maximum number of PGD entries we can copy without corrupting the kernel mapping is KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY or pgd_index(PAGE_OFFSET).
