[PATCH] x86/e820: discard high memory that can't be addressed by 32-bit systems

[Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org>]

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

Dave Hansen reports the following crash on a 32-bit system with
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y and CONFIG_X86_PAE=y:

  > 0xf75fe000 is the mem_map[] entry for the first page >4GB. It
  > obviously wasn't allocated, thus the oops.

The mem_map[] is allocated up to the end of ZONE_HIGHMEM which is defined
by max_pfn.

Before 6faea3422e3b ("arch, mm: streamline HIGHMEM freeing") freeing of
high memory was also clamped to the end of ZONE_HIGHMEM but after
6faea3422e3b memblock_free_all() tries to free memory above the of
ZONE_HIGHMEM as well and that causes access to mem_map[] entries beyond
the end of the memory map.

Discard the memory after max_pfn from memblock on 32-bit systems so that
core MM would be aware only of actually usable memory.
