    [PATCH] memset() in cyclic bitmap initialization introduce segment fault.

    We are using memset() to improve performance when creating 1st and 2nd
    bitmap. After doing round up the pfn_start and round down pfn_end, it's
    possible that pfn_start_roundup is greater than pfn_end_round. A segment
    fault could happen in that case because memset is taking roughly the
    value of (pfn_end_round << 3 - pfn_start_roundup << 3 ), which is
    negative, as its third argument.

    So we can skip the memset if start is greater than end. It's safe
    because we will set bit for the round up part and also round down part.

    Actually this happens on my EFI virtual machine:

This patch fixes segment fault issues on the systems with very small
memory map range (less than 8 pages).
