The calculation of the direct map address range to flush was wrong.
This could cause problems on x86 if a RO direct map alias ever got loaded
into the TLB. This shouldn't normally happen, but it could cause the
permissions to remain RO on the direct map alias, and then the page
would return from the page allocator to some other component as RO and
cause a crash.

So fix fix the address range calculation so the flush will include the
direct map range.
