Ingo Molnar 88f3aec7af x86: fix spontaneous reboot with allyesconfig bzImage
recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously
rebooting during early bootup.

after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out
that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel
image:

      #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE  (40*1024*1024)

which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass:

       text           data       bss        dec       hex   filename
   29703744        4222751   8646224   42572719   2899baf   vmlinux

40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/

So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is
the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-)

So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped.
(should anyone be that crazy or lazy)

We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these
mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather
pointless and arbitrary.
