arm64: mm: move vmemmap region right below the linear region
This moves the vmemmap region right below PAGE_OFFSET, aka the start of the linear region, and redefines its size to be a power of two. Due to the placement of PAGE_OFFSET in the middle of the address space, whose size is a power of two as well, this guarantees that virt to page conversions and vice versa can be implemented efficiently, by masking and shifting rather than ordinary arithmetic.
