Previous calculations ignored pages implicitly mapped by ACPI code,
I'm not sure I understand what this means. Which ACPI code and which
pages does it map?
Code from boot/compressed/{acpi.c,efi.c} that touches ACPI/EFI tables
is currently mapping pages that contain the tables implicitly by
causing page faults. And those mappings may require additional
memory for page tables. It became more apparent when I were removing
memory mapping from page fault handler.
so theoretical upper limit is higher than was set.
