In 32-bit ARM systems, the fixmap mapping region can support no more
than 14 CPUs(total: 896k; one CPU: 64K). And we can configure NR_CPUS
up to 32. So there is a mismatch.
This patch moves fixmapping region downwards to region 0xffc00000-
0xffe00000. Then the fixmap mapping region can support up to 32 CPUs.

It seems that these two macros are not used by non architecture
specific code. And on ARM FIX_KMAP_BEGIN equals zero.
This patch removes these two macros. Instead, using FIX_KMAP_NR_PTES to
tell the pte number belonged to fixmap mapping region. The code will
become clearer when I introduce a bugfix on fixmap mapping region.

This is the minimum fixmap interface expected to be implemented by
architectures supporting highmem.
We have a second level page table already allocated and covering
0xfff00000-0xffffffff because the exception vector page is located
at 0xffff0000, and various cache tricks already use some entries above
0xffff0000. Therefore the PTEs covering 0xfff00000-0xfffeffff are free
to be used.
However the XScale cache flushing code already uses virtual addresses
between 0xfffe0000 and 0xfffeffff.
So this reserves the 0xfff00000-0xfffdffff range for fixmap stuff.
The Documentation/arm/memory.txt information is updated accordingly,
including the information about the actual top of DMA memory mapping
region which didn't match the code.
