To build this driver as a kernel module, we cannot use
the unexported symbol "max_pfn" to setup enable_4GB.

Use totalram_pages() instead to setup enable_4GB.

A similar thing seems to be done by
drivers/media/platform/mtk-vpu/mtk_vpu.c:
	vpu->enable_4GB = !!(totalram_pages() > (SZ_2G >> PAGE_SHIFT));

I do wonder if some weird memory hotplug setups might give you false
negatives.

E.g., start a VM with 1GB and hotplug 1GB - it will be hotplugged on
x86-64 above 4GB, turning max_pfn into 5GB. totalram_pages() should
return something < 2GB.

Same can happen when you have a VM and use ballooning to fake-unplug
memory, making totalram_pages() return something < 4GB, but leaving
usable pfns >= 4GB
Yes. Yingjoe also told me that this patch is not correct.

Thanks for pointing this out. totalram_pages() does not work 
for some cases:
Just a thought: If memory hotplug is applicable as well, you might
either want to always assume data->enable_4GB, or handle memory hotplug
events from the memory notifier, when new memory gets onlined (not sure
how tricky that is).
