Currently we have to consider too many different values which in the end only affect identity mapping size. These are: 1. max_physmem_end - end of physical memory online or standby. Always <= end of the last online memory block (get_mem_detect_end()). 2. CONFIG_MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - the maximum size of physical memory the kernel is able to support. 3. "mem=" kernel command line option which limits physical memory usage. 4. OLDMEM_BASE which is a kdump memory limit when the kernel is executed as crash kernel. 5. "hsa" size which is a memory limit when the kernel is executed during zfcp/nvme dump. Through out kernel startup and run we juggle all those values at once but that does not bring any amusement, only confusion and complexity. Unify all those values to a single one we should really care, that is our identity mapping size.

README
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.
