[PATCH] x86_32: fix regression caused by trim ram according to mtrr on system with 4G more RAM

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂx86_32: trim memory by updating e820

broke my e1000 card: on loading driver says that

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂe1000: probe of 0000:04:03.0 failed with error -5

and the interface doesn't appear.
"

on 32 bit kernel, base will overflow when try to do PAGE_SHIFT.
and highest_addr will always less 4G.

so use pfn instead of address to avoid overflow when more than 4g
ram installed on 32bit kernel
Many thanks for Pavel Emelyanov to report and test it.
