Here's an updated patch.  Rather than use __FIXADDR_TOP to adjust for
MAXMEM, directly update __VMALLOC_RESERVE which is used to reserve the
space for vmalloc, iomap, and fixmap (as comments aptly point out).  I
tested this with a bunch of configurations, and booted a XenoLinux
kernel with this patch as well.

thanks,

Make __FIXADDR_TOP variable to allow it to make space for a hypervisor.

Make __FIXADDR_TOP a variable, so that it can be set to not get in the
way of address space a hypervisor may want to reserve.
