[PATCH RFC] ARM: mm: Fix for highmem on machines with more than 14 cores

The fixmap area was hard coded to 224 pages which was only enough for 14 CPU:s.
Now the area adapts to the configured number of CPU:s (NR_CPUS). We still have
a hard limit of 30 CPU:s since we only have a single pte-chunk (512 pte:s).
