[ Upstream commit 16877a5570e0c5f4270d5b17f9bab427bcae9514 ] There is a guard hole at the beginning of the kernel address space, also used by hypervisors. It occupies 16 PGD entries. This reserved range is not defined explicitely, it is calculated relative to other entities: direct mapping and user space ranges. The calculation got broken by recent changes of the kernel memory layout: LDT remap range is now mapped before direct mapping and makes the calculation invalid. The breakage leads to crash on Xen dom0 boot[1]. Define the reserved range explicitely. It's part of kernel ABI (hypervisors expect it to be stable) and must not depend on changes in the rest of kernel memory layout.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
