mm,pagetables: add VIRT_KERNEL_HIGH memory area
The VIRT_KERNEL_HIGH is currently located at the address 0xffff900000000000. The memory area should be used for high-address or large memory allocations. The VIRT_KERNEL_BASE area, while reachable from within the VIRT_IDENT_BASE area, does not have enough addressing space for high address allocations (base address overflow). All such allocations should go to the new area. Add mmap() helper (or its order size variants) to automatically use the VIRT_KERNEL_HIGH area. The get_free_pages() gets a new flag GPF_KERNEL_HIGH to use the area. Signed-off-by: Pawel Wieczorkiewicz <[email protected]>
