util/cbmem: mmap underflow on low addresses
There is code to adjust the mapping down if a mmap fails
at a physical address. However, if the address is less
than the page size of the system then the physical offset will
underflow. This can actually cause a kernel panic on when
operating on /dev/mem.
The failing condition happens when the requested mapping at 0
fails in the kernel. The fallback path is taken and page size
is subtracted from 0 making a very large offset. The PAT code
in the kernel fails with a BUG_ON in reserve_memtype() checking
start >= end. The kernel needs to be fixed as well, but this
fallback path is wrong as well.
