Move the fixmap region above the vmemmap region, so that the start of the vmemmap delineates the end of the region available for vmalloc and vmap allocations and the randomized placement of the kernel and modules. In a subsequent patch, we will take advantage of this to reclaim most of the vmemmap area when running a 52-bit VA capable build with 52-bit virtual addressing disabled at runtime. Note that the existing guard region of 256 MiB covers the fixmap and PCI I/O regions as well, so we can reduce it 8 MiB, which is what we use in other places too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
