Aneesh Kumar K.V f4ea6dcb08 powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TB
Not all user space application is ready to handle wide addresses. It's
known that at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to
encode their information. It collides with valid pointers with 512TB
addresses and leads to crashes.

To mitigate this, we are not going to allocate virtual address space
above 128TB by default.

But userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by
specifying hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 128TB.

If hint address set above 128TB, but MAP_FIXED is not specified, we try
to look for unmapped area by specified address. If it's already
occupied, we look for unmapped area in *full* address space, rather than
from 128TB window.

This approach helps to easily make application's memory allocator aware
about large address space without manually tracking allocated virtual
address space.

This is going to be a per mmap decision. ie, we can have some mmaps with
larger addresses and other that do not.

A sample memory layout looks like:

  10000000-10010000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9057045          /home/max_addr_512TB
