    x86_64: allocate sparsemem memmap above 4G
    
    On systems with huge amount of physical memory, VFS cache and memory memmap
    may eat all available system memory under 4G, then the system may fail to
    allocate swiotlb bounce buffer.
    
    There was a fix for this issue in arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c, but that fix dose
    not cover sparsemem model.
    
    This patch add fix to sparsemem model by first try to allocate memmap above
    4G.
