There is something else that bothers me.

FIX_KMAP_BEGIN represents the starting point for mapping fixmap indices 
to page table entries.  So here you should _add_ the 
FIX_KMAP_BEGIN offset to the page table index not substract it.  
Currently FIX_KMAP_BEGIN is defined to 0 but still.

This is therefore also wrong.  It should be
fixmap_page_table + idx + FIX_KMAP_BEGIN.

Ditto here.

In fact, this FIX_KMAP_BEGIN is only creating more confusing code for 
nothing as we define it to 0 anyway, and it is not used by non 
architecture specific code.  So I'd suggest you create a patch to be 
applied before this one that simply gets rid of FIX_KMAP_BEGIN and 
FIX_KMAP_END altogether.  We could reintroduce them back if ever they're 
needed.
