Move the prototypes from the generic kernel.h header to the more
appropriate include/asm-x86/bios_ebda.h header file.
Also, remove the check from the power management code - this is a
pure x86 matter for now.

The x86 implementation of early_ioremap has an off by one error. If we get
an object which ends on the first byte of a page we undermap by one page and
this causes a crash on boot with the ASUS P5QL whose DMI table happens to fit
this alignment.
The size computation is currently
last_addr = phys_addr + size - 1;
npages = (PAGE_ALIGN(last_addr) - phys_addr)
(Consider a request for 1 byte at alignment 0...)
Closes #11693

Instead of making init a two pass sequence, to satisfy the Intel's TLB
Application note (developer.intel.com/design/processor/applnots/317080.pdf
Section 6 page 26), we preserve the original page permissions
when fragmenting the large mappings and don't touch the existing memory
mapping (which satisfies Xen's requirements).
Only open issue is: on a native linux kernel, we will go back to mapping
the first 0-1GB kernel identity mapping as executable (because of the
static mapping setup in head_64.S). We can fix this in a different
patch if needed.

Track the memtype for RAM pages in page struct instead of using the
memtype list. This avoids the explosion in the number of entries in
memtype list (of the order of 20,000 with AGP) and makes the PAT
tracking simpler.
We are using PG_arch_1 bit in page->flags.
We still use the memtype list for non RAM pages.

doing cpa
Do a global flush tlb after splitting the large page and before we do the
actual change page attribute in the PTE.
With out this, we violate the TLB application note, which says
"The TLBs may contain both ordinary and large-page translations for
a 4-KByte range of linear addresses. This may occur if software
modifies the paging structures so that the page size used for the
address range changes. If the two translations differ with respect
to page frame or attributes (e.g., permissions), processor behavior
is undefined and may be implementation-specific."
And also serialize cpa() (for !DEBUG_PAGEALLOC which uses large identity
mappings) using cpa_lock. So that we don't allow any other cpu, with stale
large tlb entries change the page attribute in parallel to some other cpu
splitting a large page entry along with changing the attribute.

No alias checking needed for setting present/not-present mapping. Otherwise,
we may need to break large pages for 64-bit kernel text mappings (this adds to
complexity if we want to do this from atomic context especially, for ex:
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC). Let's keep it simple!

Don't use large pages for kernel identity mapping with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
This will remove the need to split the large page for the
allocated kernel page in the interrupt context.
This will simplify cpa code(as we don't do the split any more from the
interrupt context). cpa code simplication in the subsequent patches.

In the first pass, kernel physical mapping will be setup using large or
small pages but uses the same PTE attributes as that of the early
PTE attributes setup by early boot code in head_[32|64].S
After flushing TLB's, we go through the second pass, which setups the
direct mapped PTE's with the appropriate attributes (like NX, GLOBAL etc)
which are runtime detectable.
This two pass mechanism conforms to the TLB app note which says:
"Software should not write to a paging-structure entry in a way that would
change, for any linear address, both the page size and either the page frame
or attributes."

Some BIOSes have been observed to corrupt memory in the low 64k. This
change:
- Reserves all memory which does not have to be in that area, to
prevent it from being used as general memory by the kernel. Things
like the SMP trampoline are still in the memory, however.
- Clears the reserved memory so we can observe changes to it.
- Adds a function check_for_bios_corruption() which checks and reports on
memory becoming unexpectedly non-zero. Currently it's called in the
x86 fault handler, and the powermanagement debug output.

Since the fourth PDPT entry cannot be shared under Xen,
vmalloc_sync_all() must iterate over pmd-s rather than pgd-s here.
Luckily, the code isn't used for native PAE (SHARED_KERNEL_PMD is 1)
and the change is benign to non-PAE.
Also do a little more cleanup in that function.

While I don't have a hotplug capable system at hand, I think two issues need
fixing:
- pud_phys (in kernel_physical_ampping_init()) would remain uninitialized in
the after_bootmem case
- the locking done just around phys_pmd_{init,update}() would leave out pgd
updates, and it was needlessly covering code portions that do allocations
(perhaps using a more friendly gfp value in alloc_low_page() would then be
possible)

Add array interface APIs of pageattr. page based cache flush is quite
slow for a lot of pages. If pages are more than 1024 (4M), the patch
will use a wbinvd(). We have a simple test here (run a 3d game - open
arena), nearly all agp memory allocation are small (< 1M), so suppose
this will not impact runtime performance.

All kernel mappings like ioremap(), etc uses UC_MINUS as the type. /dev/mem
mappings with /dev/mem being opened with O_SYNC however was using UC,
resulting in a conflict with /dev/mem mmap failing. This seems to be
affecting some apps (one being flashrom) which are using O_SYNC and which were
working before.
Switch /dev/mem with O_SYNC also to UC_MINUS.

Booting kernel with vmalloc=[any size<=16m] will oops on my pc (i386/1G memory).
BUG_ON in arch/x86/mm/init_32.c triggered:
BUG_ON((unsigned long)high_memory > VMALLOC_START);
It's due to the vm area hole.
In include/asm-x86/pgtable_32.h:
#define VMALLOC_OFFSET (8 * 1024 * 1024)
#define VMALLOC_START (((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) \
& ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))
There's several related point:
1. MAXMEM :
(-__PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE).
The space after VMALLOC_END is included as well, I set it to
(VMALLOC_END - PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE)
2. VMALLOC_OFFSET is not considered in __VMALLOC_RESERVE
fixed by adding VMALLOC_OFFSET to it.
3. VMALLOC_START :
(((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))
So it's not always 8M, bigger than 8M possible.
I set it to ((unsigned long)high_memory + VMALLOC_OFFSET)
4. the VMALLOC_RESERVE is an unused macro, so remove it here.
