Architecture defines a 64-bit virtual address. Implementations can support
less. Currently supported are 48- and 57-bit virtual addresses. Bits 63
through to the most-significant implemented bit are set to either all ones
or all zero. This causes hole between user space and kernel addresses.
The direct mapping covers all memory in the system up to the highest
memory address (this means in some cases it can also include PCI memory
holes).
vmalloc space is lazily synchronized into the different PML4/PML5 pages of
the processes using the page fault handler, with init_top_pgt as
reference.
Current X86-64 implementations support up to 46 bits of address space (64 TB),
which is our current limit. This expands into MBZ space in the page tables.
We map EFI runtime services in the 'efi_pgd' PGD in a 64Gb large virtual
memory window (this size is arbitrary, it can be raised later if needed).
The mappings are not part of any other kernel PGD and are only available
during EFI runtime calls.
The module mapping space size changes based on the CONFIG requirements for the
following fixmap section.
Note that if CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY is enabled, the direct mapping of all
physical memory, vmalloc/ioremap space and virtual memory map are randomized.
Their order is preserved but their base will be offset early at boot time.
