"<< 1" instead of "* 2" for consistency (since we're using ">> 2" just above")?

These macros are a bit hard to understand. VMALLOC_SHADOW_OFFSET and
VMALLOC_ORIGIN_OFFSET are offsets from VMALLOC_END and denote where
shadow and origin areas start? What is stored in (VMALLOC_END,
VMALLOC_END + VMALLOC_SHADOW_OFFSET] then? Maybe sorting these
constants in some logical order would help, or adding a comment on how
exactly those 3/4th of vmalloc space are split.
