Early in the boot process we need the ability to set up temporary mappings, before our normal mechanisms are initialized. Currently this is used to map pages that are part of the page tables we are building and pages during the dmi scan.
The core problem is that we are using the user portion of the page tables to implement this. Which means that while this mechanism is active we cannot catch NULL pointer dereferences and we deviate from the normal ways of handling things. In this patch I modify early_ioremap to map pages into the kernel portion of address space, roughly where we will later put modules, and I make the discovery of which addresses we can use dynamic which removes all kinds of static limits and remove the dependencies on implementation details between different parts of the code. Now alloc_low_page() and unmap_low_page() use early_iomap() and early_iounmap() to allocate/map and unmap a page. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
