This reverts commit ce56a86e2ade45d052b3228cdfebe913a1ae7381. There's unanticipated interaction with some boot parameters like 'mem=', which now cause the new checks via valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() to be too restrictive, crashing a Qemu bootup in fact, as reported by Fengguang Wu. So while the motivation of the change is still entirely valid, we need a few more rounds of testing to get it right - it's way too late after -rc6, so revert it for now.

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.
