From: Marcin Nowakowski marcin.nowakowski@imgtec.com
[ Upstream commit c56e7a4c3e77f6fbd9b55c06c14eda65aae58958 ]
Space reserved for PKMap should span from PKMAP_BASE to FIXADDR_START. For large page sizes this is not the case as eg. for 64k pages the range currently defined is from 0xfe000000 to 0x102000000(!!) which obviously isn't right. Remove the hardcoded location and set the BASE address as an offset from FIXADDR_START.
Since all PKMAP ptes have to be placed in a contiguous memory, ensure that this is the case by placing them all in a single page. This is achieved by aligning the end address to pkmap pages count pages.
