The commit

x86_32: trim memory by updating e820
broke my e1000 card: on loading driver says that
e1000: probe of 0000:04:03.0 failed with error -5
and the interface doesn't appear.

on a 32-bit kernel, base will overflow when try to do PAGE_SHIFT,
and highest_addr will always less 4G.
So use pfn instead of address to avoid the overflow when more than
4g RAM is installed on a 32-bit kernel.
Many thanks to Pavel Emelyanov for reporting and testing it.
