[PATCH] x86: ioremap_nocache fix

[Huang, Ying]

This patch fixes a bug of ioremap_nocache. ioremap_nocache() will call
__ioremap() with flags != 0 to do the real work, which will call
change_page_attr_addr() if phys_addr + size - 1 < (end_pfn_map << PAGE_SHIFT).
But some pages between 0 ~ end_pfn_map << PAGE_SHIFT are not mapped by 
identity map, this will make change_page_attr_addr failed.

This patch is based on latest x86 git and has been tested on x86_64 platform.
