x86: prepare page allocator for high allocations on PAGEALLOC=y
To preserve the DMA pool in CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y kernels, we'll allocate pagetables from above the 16MB DMA limit, so we'll have to set up boot pagetables to cover 16MB more RAM (worst-case). Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
