The early ioremap fixmap entries cover half (or for 32-bit
non-PAE, a quarter) of a page table, yet they got
uncondtitionally aligned so far to a 256-entry boundary. This is
not necessary if the range of page table entries anyway falls
into a single page table.

This buys back, for (theoretically) 50% of all configurations
(25% of all non-PAE ones), at least some of the lowmem
necessarily lost with commit e621bd18958ef5dbace3129ebe17a0a475e127d9.
