Currently we place swapper_pg_dir and idmap_pg_dir below the kernel image, between PHYS_OFFSET and (PHYS_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET). However, bootloaders may use portions of this memory below the kernel and we do not parse the memory reservation list until after the MMU has been enabled. As such we may clobber some memory a bootloader wishes to have preserved. To enable the use of all of this memory by bootloaders (when the required memory reservations are communicated to the kernel) it is necessary to move our initial page tables elsewhere. As we currently have an effectively unbound requirement for memory at the end of the kernel image for .bss, we can place the page tables here. This patch moves the initial page table to the end of the kernel image, after the BSS. As they do not consist of any initialised data they will be stripped from the kernel Image as with the BSS. The BSS clearing routine is updated to stop at __bss_stop rather than _end so as to not clobber the page tables, and memory reservations made redundant by the new organisation are removed.
