[PATCH RFC] ARM: extend fixmap mapping region to support 30 CPUs

In 32-bit ARM systems, the fixmap mapping region can support
no more than 14 CPUs(total: 896k; one CPU: 64K). And we can
configure NR_CPUS up to 32. So there is a mismatch.
This patch extends the fixmapping region downwards to boundary
of DMA mapping region(0xffe00000-0xfffe0000). Then the fixmap
mapping region can support up to 30 CPUs.
There seems to be no easy way to support 32 CPUs by simply
changing memory layout on ARM Linux. So I also limit the
maximal CPU number one can configure.
