From: Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de
commit f6c4fd506cb626e4346aa81688f255e593a7c5a0 upstream.
The loop which populates the CPU entry area PMDs can wrap around on 32bit machines when the number of CPUs is small.
It worked wonderful for NR_CPUS=64 for whatever reason and the moron who wrote that code did not bother to test it with !SMP.
Check for the wraparound to fix it.
