    s390/mm: Prevent lowcore vs identity mapping overlap
    
    [ Upstream commit a3ca27c405faad584af6e8e38cdafe5be73230a1 ]
    
    The identity mapping position in virtual memory is randomized
    together with the kernel mapping. That position can never
    overlap with the lowcore even when the lowcore is relocated.
    
    Prevent overlapping with the lowcore to allow independent
    positioning of the identity mapping. With the current value
    of the alternative lowcore address of 0x70000 the overlap
    could happen in case the identity mapping is placed at zero.
    
    This is a prerequisite for uncoupling of randomization base
    of kernel image and identity mapping in virtual memory.
