This redefines ARM64_MEMSTART_ALIGN in terms of the minimal alignment
required by sparsemem vmemmap. This comes down to using 1 GB for all
translation granules if CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled.

This relaxes the kernel Image placement requirements, so that it
may be placed at any 2 MB aligned offset in physical memory.

This is accomplished by ignoring PHYS_OFFSET when installing
memblocks, and accounting for the apparent virtual offset of
the kernel Image. As a result, virtual address references
below PAGE_OFFSET are correctly mapped onto physical references
into the kernel Image regardless of where it sits in memory.

Special care needs to be taken for dealing with memory limits passed
via mem=, since the generic implementation clips memory top down, which
may clip the kernel image itself if it is loaded high up in memory. To
deal with this case, we simply add back the memory covering the kernel
image, which may result in more memory to be retained than was passed
as a mem= parameter.

Since mem= should not be considered a production feature, a panic notifier
handler is installed that dumps the memory limit at panic time if one was
set.

Now that we can calculate the number of levels required for
mapping a va width, reserve exact number of pages that would
be required to cover the idmap. The idmap should be able to handle
the maximum physical address size supported.

<title>arm64: Handle section maps for swapper/idmap</title>

We use section maps with 4K page size to create the swapper/idmaps.
So far we have used !64K or 4K checks to handle the case where we
use the section maps.
This patch adds a new symbol, ARM64_SWAPPER_USES_SECTION_MAPS, to
handle cases where we use section maps, instead of using the page size
symbols.

Move the kernel pagetable (both swapper and idmap) definitions
from the generic asm/page.h to a new file, asm/kernel-pgtable.h.

This is mostly a cosmetic change, to clean up the asm/page.h to
get rid of the arch specific details which are not needed by the
generic code.

Also renames the symbols to prevent conflicts. e.g,
 	BLOCK_SHIFT =&gt; SWAPPER_BLOCK_SHIFT
