With the introduction of the .brk section, special care must be taken
that no unused page table entries remain if _brk_end and _end are
separated by a 2M page boundary. cleanup_highmap() runs very early and
hence cannot take care of that, hence potential entries needing to be
removed past _brk_end must be cleared once the brk allocator has done
its job.

The mem= option will truncate the memory map at a specified address so
it's not possible to register nodes with memory beyond the e820 upper
bound.
unparse_node() is only called when then node had memory associated with
it, although with the mem= option it is no longer addressable.

* change function names to clear_* from set_*: in reality we only clear
and restore page presence, and never unconditionally set present.
Using clear_*({true, false}, ...) is therefore more honest than
set_*({false, true}, ...)
* upgrade presence storage to pteval_t: doing user-space tracing will
require saving and manipulation of the _PAGE_PROTNONE bit, in addition
to the existing _PAGE_PRESENT changes, and having multiple bools stored
and passed around does not seem optimal

This change resolves the problem of too many single page entries
in pat_memtype_list and "freeing invalid memtype" errors with i915,
reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123845244713183&w=2
Remove page level granularity track and untrack of vm_insert_pfn.
memtype tracking at page granularity does not scale and cleaner
approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger
IO address range or PCI io memory range for that device, either at
mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during
vm_insert_pfn.
This patch just removes the track/untrack of vm_insert_pfn. That
means we will be in same state as 2.6.28, with respect to these APIs.
Newer APIs for the drivers to request a memtype for a bigger region
is coming soon.

pat_disable cannot be __cpuinit anymore because it's called from pat_init
and the callchain looks like this:
pat_disable [cpuinit] <- pat_init <- generic_set_all <-
ipi_handler <- set_mtrr <- (other non init/cpuinit functions)

/dev/mem mmap code was doing memtype reserve/free for a while now.
Recently we added memtype tracking in remap_pfn_range, and /dev/mem mmap
uses it indirectly. So, we don't need seperate tracking in /dev/mem code
any more. That means another ~100 lines of code removed :-).

Fix pat_x_mtrr_type() to use UC_MINUS when the mtrr type return UC. This
is to be consistent with ioremap() and ioremap_nocache() which uses
UC_MINUS.

pat_x_mtrr_type() when the caller doesn't specify any special attribute
(non WB attribute).

As per SDM, there should not be any aliasing of a WC with any cacheable
type across CPUs. That is if one CPU is changing the identity map
memtype to _WC, no other CPU at the time of this change should not have a
TLB for this page that carries a WB attribute. SDM suggests to make the
page not present. But for that we will have to handle any page faults
that can potentially happen due to these pages being not present.
Other way to deal with this without having any WB mapping is to change
the page first to UC and then to WC. This ensures that we meet the SDM
requirement of no cacheable alais to WC page. This also has same or
lower overhead than marking the page not present and making it present
later.

Change the identity mapping with the requested attribute first, before
we setup the virtual memory mapping with the new requested attribute.
This makes sure that there is no window when identity map'ed attribute
may disagree with ioremap range on the attribute type.
This also avoids doing cpa on the ioremap'ed address twice (first in
ioremap_page_range and then in ioremap_change_attr using vaddr), and
should improve ioremap performance a bit.

All logical processors with APIC ID values of 255 and greater will have their
APIC reported through Processor X2APIC structure (type-9 entry type) and all
logical processors with APIC ID less than 255 will have their APIC reported
through legacy Processor Local APIC (type-0 entry type) only. This is the
same case even for NMI structure reporting.
The Processor X2APIC Affinity structure provides the association between the
X2APIC ID of a logical processor and the proximity domain to which the logical
processor belongs.
For OSPM, Procssor IDs outside the 0-254 range are to be declared as Device()
objects in the ACPI namespace.

This reverts commit 698609bdcd35d0641f4c6622c83680ab1a6d67cb.
69860 breaks Xen booting, as it relies on head*.S to set up the fixmap
pagetables (as a side-effect of initializing the USB debug port).
Xen, however, does not boot via head*.S, and so the fixmap area is
not initialized.
The specific symptom of the crash is a fault in dmi_scan(), because
the pointer that early_ioremap returns is not actually present.

following patches which adds an interface to change attr to uc/wb over a
set of pages referred by struct page.

Impact: cleanup, remove last user of set_pte_present
set_pte_vaddr() is only used to install ptes in fixmaps, and
should never be used to overwrite a present mapping.

Impact: cleanup, reduce memory usage for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
Part of the "getting rid of obsolete cpumask_t" patch:
1) Use cpumask_var_t: this is a pointer if CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
2) Call alloc_cpumask_var() on first entry into enter_uniprocessor()
3) Use modern cpumask_* functions.

Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers
Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence
we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths.
x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need
a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory
stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI.
Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.

asm/highmem.h inclusion is added to use kmap_atomic_prot_pfn()
by commit bb6d59ca927d855ffac567b35c0a790c67016103
Now kmap_atomic_prot_pfn is moved to iomap_32.c
by commit dd63fdcc63f0f853b116b52e56200a0e0227cf5f
So the asm/highmem.h inclusion in iomap_32.c is unnecessary now.

Impact: new interface
Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order
to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations. This is better than
using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never
get used.
The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the
space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so
that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or
something into it.
The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area
(__brk_base to __brk_limit). The kernel text, data and bss is reserved
up to __bss_stop.
Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel
pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces
in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory.
Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general
kernel memory pool.
Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger
than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code
to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large
with a big kernel image and no PSE support). So long as the system
has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk,
there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

Impact: fix (CONFIG_MAXSMP=y only) boot crash
c032ef60d1aa9af33730b7a35bbea751b131adc1 "cpumask: convert
node_to_cpumask_map[] to cpumask_var_t" didn't get this one
conversion. There was a compile warning, but I missed it.
