Sorry, thought about that line a bit more, and I think this is just
wrong (took me longer to realize as it should). The old code used this
calculation to print the limit only (in a wrong way), let's recap:

Assume MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS=32

	max_phys = (1ULL << (32 + 1)) - 1 = 0x1ffffffffull;

Ehm, these are 33 bit.

OTOH, old code checked for

	if (max_addr >> MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) {

Which makes sense, because

	0x1ffffffffull >> 32 = 1

results in "true", meaning it's to big, while

	0xffffffffull >> 32 = 0

correctly results in "false", meaning the address is fine.



So, this should just be

const u64 max_phys = 1ULL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS;

(similarly as calculated in virito-mem code, or in kernel/resource.c)
Should this be 1ULL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - 1 instead ? Currently there are
three usage for this variable in the function.

- if (mhp_range.start > max_phys)
- mhp_range.end = min_t(u64, mhp_range.end, max_phys)
- mhp_range.end = max_phys

mhp_range.end being always inclusive on the higher end and could be maximum
(1ULL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - 1) which is 0xFFFFFFFF instead of 0x100000000
when (1ULL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) is followed for a 32 bit system. This seems
consistent with the default fallback (range.end = -1ULL) defined above.
