8c5beb50d3 x86 boot: pass E820 memory map entries more than 128 via linked list of setup data
Because of the size limits of struct boot_params (zero page), the
maximum number of E820 memory map entries can be passed to kernel is
128. As pointed by Paul Jackson, there is some machine produced by SGI
with so many nodes that the number of E820 memory map entries is more
than 128. To enabling Linux kernel on these system, a new setup data
type named SETUP_E820_EXT is defined to pass additional memory map
entries to Linux kernel.

This patch is based on x86/auto-latest branch of git-x86 tree and has
been tested on x86_64 and i386 platform.

8b2ef1d728 x86: add flags parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic()
This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic() like it
already has been added in reserve_bootmem() with commit
72a7fe3967.

It also changes all users to use BOOTMEM_DEFAULT, which doesn't effectively
change the behaviour. Since the change is x86-specific, I don't think it's
necessary to add a new API for migration. There are only 4 users of that
function.

The change is necessary for the next patch, using reserve_bootmem_generic()
for crashkernel reservation.

ad524d46f3 x86: set PAE PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT to 44 bits.
When a 64-bit x86 processor runs in 32-bit PAE mode, a pte can
potentially have the same number of physical address bits as the
64-bit host ("Enhanced Legacy PAE Paging").  This means, in theory,
we could have up to 52 bits of physical address in a pte.

The 32-bit kernel uses a 32-bit unsigned long to represent a pfn.
This means that it can only represent physical addresses up to 32+12=44
bits wide.  Rather than widening pfns everywhere, just set 2^44 as the
Linux x86_32-PAE architectural limit for physical address size.

This is a bugfix for two cases:
1. running a 32-bit PAE kernel on a machine with
  more than 64GB RAM.
2. running a 32-bit PAE Xen guest on a host machine with
  more than 64GB RAM

In both cases, a pte could need to have more than 36 bits of physical,
and masking it to 36-bits will cause fairly severe havoc.

6e9bcc796b x86 boot: change sanitize_e820_map parameter from byte to int to allow bigger memory maps
The map size counter passed into, and back out of, sanitize_e820_map(),
was an eight bit type (char or u8), as derived from its origins in
legacy BIOS E820 structures.  This patch changes that type to an 'int',
to allow this sanitize routine to also be used on larger maps (larger
than the 256 count that fits in a char).  The legacy BIOS E820 interface
of course does not change; that remains at 8 bits for this count, holding
up to E820MAX == 128 entries.  But the kernel internals can handle more
when those additional memory map entries are passed from the BIOS via
EFI interfaces.
