This is a preparatory patch for relocatable kernel and sv48 support.

The kernel used to be linked at PAGE_OFFSET address therefore we could use
the linear mapping for the kernel mapping. But the relocated kernel base
address will be different from PAGE_OFFSET and since in the linear mapping,
two different virtual addresses cannot point to the same physical address,
the kernel mapping needs to lie outside the linear mapping so that we don't
have to copy it at the same physical offset.

The kernel mapping is moved to the last 2GB of the address space and then
BPF and modules are also pushed to the same range since they have to lie
close to the kernel inside a 2GB window.

Note then that KASLR implementation will simply have to move the kernel in
this 2GB range and modify BPF/modules regions accordingly.

In addition, by moving the kernel to the end of the address space, both
sv39 and sv48 kernels will be exactly the same without needing to be
relocated at runtime.

Awesome ! This is a good approach with no performance impact.

This does not look right or I am missing something.

I think the VMALLOC_MODULE_START should be:
#define VMALLOC_MODULE_START (PFN_ALIGN((unsigned long)&_start) - SZ_2G)


I think the patch is correct: worst-case, we want the first address of the module area to be able to access the last address of the kernel, so we must use _end and not _start to guarantee that the difference between those 2 addresses is not greater than 2GB.
