Before this patch-set, we mapped memory like this:

1. [0, ISA_END_ADDRESS),
2. [ISA_END_ADDRESS, round_down(max_addr, PMD_SIZE)), from top downwards,
3. [round_down(max_addr, PMD_SIZE), max_addr)


After this patch-set, when movablenode is enabled, it is like:

1. [round_up(_end, PMD_SIZE), max_addr), from _end upwards,
2. [ISA_END_ADDRESS, round_up(_end, PMD_SIZE)),
3. [0, ISA_END_ADDRESS)


All the boundaries are aligned with PMD_SIZE. I think it is the same.

Thanks.
