commit 1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a upstream.

On systems with very large memory (1 TB in our case), BIOS may report a
reserved region or a hole in the E820 map, even above the 4 GB range. Exclude
these from the direct mapping.

[ hpa: this should be done not just for > 4 GB but for everything above the legacy
  region (1 MB), at the very least.  That, however, turns out to require significant
  restructuring.  That work is well underway, but is not suitable for rc/stable. ]
