Subject: xen: partially revert "xen: set max_pfn_mapped to the last
pfn mapped"
From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabell...@eu.citrix.com>
commit a91d92875ee94e4703fd017ccaadb48cfb344994 upstream.
We only need to set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped on x86_64 to
make sure that cleanup_highmap doesn't remove important mappings at
_end.
We don't need to do this on x86_32 because cleanup_highmap is not called
on x86_32. Besides lowering max_pfn_mapped on x86_32 has the unwanted
side effect of limiting the amount of memory available for the 1:1
kernel pagetable allocation.
This patch reverts the x86_32 part of the original patch.
