applied to tip/x86/core, thanks Yinghai. Lets hope it all goes well, this is a rather scary change - but it's also fairly clean.
perhaps add a comment to the limit of 5 of mapping ranges - to point out that the number of mapping ranges depends on our programming, not on any external factor. I.e. if anyone adds a new mapping range to the kernel for any purpose, it must be extended - but otherwise it cannot run out due to new hardware.
