Dave Hansen beb9147e95 x86/mm: Update memory map description to list hypervisor-reserved area
Peter Anvin says:

 > 0xffff880000000000 is the lowest usable address because we have
 > agreed to leave 0xffff800000000000-0xffff880000000000 for the
 > hypervisor or other non-OS uses.

Let's call this out in the documentation.

This came up during the kernel address sanitizer discussions
where it was proposed to use this area for other kernel things.
