[Bug Fix]: Do 32-bit table calculations in pre-processor

[Michael S. Zick]

Here is one I have found useful in my VIA processor bug hunting:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S b/arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S

 /* Enough space to fit pagetables for the low memory linear map */
 MAPPING_BEYOND_END = \
-       PAGE_TABLE_SIZE(((1<<32) - __PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT) << PAGE_SHIFT
+       PAGE_TABLE_SIZE((1<<20) - (__PAGE_OFFSET >> PAGE_SHIFT)) << PAGE_SHIFT

 /*
  * Worst-case size of the kernel mapping we need to make:

= = =

Before:

  #5 [0000010000 - 0000011000]          PGTABLE ==> [0000010000 - 0000011000]
  #6 [0000011000 - 0000015000]          BOOTMAP ==> [0000011000 - 0000015000]

After:

  #5 [0000010000 - 000007d000]          PGTABLE ==> [0000010000 - 000007d000]
  #6 [000007d000 - 0000081000]          BOOTMAP ==> [000007d000 - 0000081000]

Someone who knows mm check which is the reasonable value please.

Mike
