If we look closely at the logic in create_physical_mapping(), when
we're doing STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, we do the following steps:
- determine the gap from where we are to the end of the range
- choose an appropriate mapping_size based on the gap
- check if that mapping_size would overlap the __init_begin
boundary, and if not choose an appropriate mapping_size
We can simplify the logic by taking the __init_begin boundary into
account when we calculate the initial gap.
So add a next_boundary() function which tells us what the next
boundary is, either the __init_begin boundary or end. In future we can
add more boundaries.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
