Since this commit introduced a regression, a revert is the best thing to
do here.

I guess Daniel tested a debug build without this crashkernel option.
This would place the crash region above the direct mapping region and
map_domain_page() would do the right thing.

This should be made conditional on the location of the crash region --
it is wrong to do this for portions of the crash region that are outside
the crash region.
