x86-32: tighten the bound on additional memory to map
Impact: Tighten bound to avoid masking errors
The definition of MAPPING_BEYOND_END was excessive; this has a nasty
tendency to mask bugs. We have learned over time that this kind of
bug hiding can cause some very strange errors. Therefore, tighten the
bound to only need to map the actual kernel area.
