    x86: Lift restriction on the location of FIX_BTMAP_* · 499a5f1e
    Jan Beulich authored
    The early ioremap fixmap entries cover half (or for 32-bit
    non-PAE, a quarter) of a page table, yet they got
    uncondtitionally aligned so far to a 256-entry boundary. This is
    not necessary if the range of page table entries anyway falls
    into a single page table.
    
    This buys back, for (theoretically) 50% of all configurations
    (25% of all non-PAE ones), at least some of the lowmem
    necessarily lost with commit e621bd18
    
    .
