x86/mm: Add a few comments

It's a shame to hide useful comments in Changelogs, add some to the
code.

Shamelessly stolen from commit:

  c40a56a ("x86/mm/init: Remove freed kernel image areas from alias mapping")

+ * The kernel image is mapped into two places in the virtual address space
+ * (addresses without KASLR, of course):
+ *
+ * 1. The kernel direct map (0xffff880000000000)
+ * 2. The "high kernel map" (0xffffffff81000000)
+ *
+ * We actually execute out of #2. If we get the address of a kernel symbol, it
+ * points to #2, but almost all physical-to-virtual translations point to #1.
+ *
+ * This is so that we can have both a directmap of all physical memory *and*
+ * take full advantage of the the limited (s32) immediate addressing range (2G)
+ * of x86_64.

+ * See Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.rst for more detail.
