x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first. Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until all pages get mapped. alloc_low_page will use page from BRK at first, after that buffer is used up, will use memblock to find and reserve pages for page table usage. Introduce min_pfn_mapped to make sure find new pages from mapped ranges, that will be updated when lower pages get mapped. Also add step_size to make sure that don't try to map too big range with limited mapped pages initially, and increase the step_size when we have more mapped pages on hand. We don't need to call pagetable_reserve anymore, reserve work is done in alloc_low_page() directly. At last we can get rid of calculation and find early pgt related code. -v2: update to after fix_xen change, also use MACRO for initial pgt_buf size and add comments with it. -v3: skip big reserved range in memblock.reserved near end. -v4: don't need fix_xen change now. -v5: add changelog about moving about reserving pagetable to alloc_low_page.
