Berry curvature for metal and Anomalous Hall Effect As much I understand, in a crystal Berry connection and Berry curvature is defined for a particular band. The Hall conductance is given by the total Chern number (integrated Berry curvature over the full Brillouin zone) of all the bands below Fermi level. In this paper [ arXiv:cond-mat/0307337], the anomalous Hall coefficient for Fe is calculated by integrating the Berry curvature. It also shows a density plot of Berry curvature over the full Brillouin zone. I don't understand

*How to calculate/define Berry curvature for a metallic system?
  

In a metal, one or multiple bands can cross the Fermi level. Above Fermi level, the occupation is zero.  How would that affect the derivation?


  
*What data is shown in this figure [Fig.4 of the above paper]?
  

Is it the sum of Berry curvature of all the bands below Fermi level? Since the main calculation is done for bulk (3D), how the 3rd momentum component is fixed?

We know that, in the Bloch theorem, eigenfunction of a periodic function can be written as $\psi_{k}(r) =r^{ik.r} u_{k}(r)$, where $u_{k}(r)$ is a periodic function $u_{k}(r+R)= u_{k}(r)$, and $R$ is defined on the Bravaius lattice. 
Knowing the band structure of your system, namely $\psi_{nk}$ which is the Bloch state where $n$ is the band index, you can employ Eq.(4) of the referenced paper and can determine the Berry curvature of your system.
The band structure is plotted in Fig. 1 and upper panel of Fig. 3.

Taking advantages of lattice symmetries, we can reduce the amount of calculation inside the first Brillouin zone to only calculations along the high-symmetry points of the lattice, in this system consisting of $\{\Gamma, H, P, N \}$. An intuitive 3D plot can be found in this link.
In Fig. 4, authors focused on a particular cross-section of the system along the (010)-plane, determined the associated Berry curvature and plotted that in the momentum space along $\Gamma -H$ points of the lattice. As you may also be noticed from the caption, the black solid lines are the Fermi surface of the system. Some 3D plots of the fermi-surfaces can be found here.

It has been statedd in the paper, Eq. (5), 
$$\Omega(\mathbf{k})=\sum\limits_{n}  f_{n} \Omega_{n}(\mathbf{k}),$$
 where $f_{n}$ is the Fermi-Dirac distribution. Thereby, only occupied states have a contribution in determining the Berry curvature of the system. Subsequently, the conductance of the system is obtained from the Berry curvature which has been summed over the occupied states. 
Regarding the third component of momentum, please recall that the presented calculations in Fig. (4) are performed on a particular plane of the system, namely (010), imposing that due to the plane equation (F(k_{x}, k_{y}, k_{z})=0) only two of the components are free and the third component can be expressed as a function the others.
