Extend the maximum addressable memory on x86-64 from 2^44 to
2^46 bytes. This requires some shuffling around of the vmalloc
and virtual memmap memory areas, to keep them away from the
direct mapping of up to 64TB of physical memory.
This patch also introduces a guard hole between the vmalloc
area and the virtual memory map space. There's really no
good reason why we wouldn't have a guard hole there.

Commit a6523748bd
(paravirt/x86, 64-bit: move __PAGE_OFFSET to leave a space for hypervisor)
changed address space without changing the documentation.
Change it according to the code change -- direct mapping start:
ffff810000000000 => ffff880000000000 which gives 57 TiB, something
between 45 and 46 bits.

The current organization of the x86 documentation makes it appear as
if the "i386" documentation doesn't apply to x86-64, which is does.
Thus, move that documentation into Documentation/x86, and move the
x86-64-specific stuff into Documentation/x86/x86_64 with the eventual
goal to move stuff that isn't actually 64-bit specific back into
Documentation/x86.
