The temporary mappings needed to set up the 1:1 mappings must be torn down 
after use; otherwise they may trigger the
WARN_ON() in vmap_pte_range() (namely if the chunk allocated to hold kernel and 
initial page tables gets close to or
exceeds 128Mb, or if a sufficiently high mem= argument causes the static 
allocations to grow beyond 128Mb, which in
either case means these mappings extend into the modules area).

Also some minor cleanup.
