This patch updates the kernel non-linear virtual map to 512TB when we're built with 64K page size and are using the hash MMU. We allocate one context for the vmalloc region and hence the max virtual area size is limited by the context map size (512TB for 64K and 64TB for 4K page size). This patch fixes boot failures with large amounts of system RAM where we need large vmalloc space to handle per cpu allocations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
