I see now that only the early_ioremap portion of the fixmap needs to be
on the same pmd page and not the entire collection of fixmap pages.
Therefore the check against __end_of_early_ioremap_region is the correct
choice for this build time check.
Please disregard this patch.
Sorry for the confusion,
