H. Peter Anvin 60ac982139 x86-32: tighten the bound on additional memory to map
Impact: Tighten bound to avoid masking errors

The definition of MAPPING_BEYOND_END was excessive; this has a nasty
tendency to mask bugs.  We have learned over time that this kind of
bug hiding can cause some very strange errors.  Therefore, tighten the
bound to only need to map the actual kernel area.
