Yes, I ideally wanted this to be calculated based on the different page
options and VA_BITS (which itself has a similar stanza), but I don't
know how to do that/if it is currently supported in Kconfig. This would
be even more desirable with the addition of 16K_PAGES, as with this
setup we have a combinatorial problem.

We could move this logic into the code where min/max are initialized,
but that would create its own mess, creating new Kconfig values to
introduce it in an arch-agnostic way after patch-set v2 moved that to
mm/mmap.c instread of arch/${arch}/mm/mmap.c Suggestions welcome.

Thank You,
Dan
