Subject[RFC] mm: direct mapping count in /proc/meminfo is error
I find the direct mapping count in /proc/meminfo is error. 
The value should be equal to the size of init_memory_mapping which
showed in boot log.

I add some print to show direct_pages_count[] immediately after
init_memory_mapping(). The reason is that we double counting.

Here is the log(kernel v4.4):
...
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] // called from "init_memory_mapping(0, ISA_END_ADDRESS);"

[ 0.000000] DirectMap4k: 3648 kB
[ 0.000000] DirectMap2M: 2084864 kB
[ 0.000000] DirectMap1G: 50331648 kB

euler-linux:~ # cat /proc/meminfo | grep DirectMap
DirectMap4k: 91712 kB
DirectMap2M: 4093952 kB
DirectMap1G: 48234496 kB


total DirectMap is 48234496 + 4093952 + 91712 = 52420160kb
50331648 + 2084864 + 3648 = 52420160kb
total init_memory_mapping is 50323008kb

52420160kb - 50323008kb = 2097152kb = 2G

However I haven't find a better way to fix it, any ideas?

Thanks,
Xishi Qiu
