34feb2c83b x86_64: Quicklist support for x86_64
This adds caching of pgds and puds, pmds, pte.  That way we can avoid costly
zeroing and initialization of special mappings in the pgd.

A second quicklist is useful to separate out PGD handling.  We can carry the
initialized pgds over to the next process needing them.

Also clean up the pgd_list handling to use regular list macros.  There is no
need anymore to avoid the lru field.

Move the add/removal of the pgds to the pgdlist into the constructor /
destructor.  That way the implementation is congruent with i386.

2bff73830c [PATCH] x86-64: use lru instead of page->index and page->private for pgd lists management.
x86_64 currently simulates a list using the index and private fields of the
page struct.  Seems that the code was inherited from i386.  But x86_64 does
not use the slab to allocate pgds and pmds etc.  So the lru field is not
used by the slab and therefore available.

This patch uses standard list operations on page->lru to realize pgd
tracking.

00f1ea6967 [PATCH] x86: adjust inclusion of asm/fixmap.h
Move inclusion of asm/fixmap.h to where it is really used rather than
where it may have been used long ago (requires a few other adjustments
to includes due to previous implicit dependencies).

8c914cb704 [PATCH] x86_64: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain callbacks
While the modular aspect of the respective i386 patch doesn't apply to
x86-64 (as the top level page directory entry is shared between modules
and the base kernel), handlers registered with register_die_notifier()
are still under similar constraints for touching ioremap()ed or
vmalloc()ed memory. The likelihood of this problem becoming visible is
of course significantly lower, as the assigned virtual addresses would
have to cross a 2**39 byte boundary. This is because the callback gets
invoked
(a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation
gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table
entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and
(b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen,
since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs,
potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

9c0aa0f9a1 [PATCH] Replace extern inline with static inline in asm-x86_64/*
They should be identical in the kernel now, but this
makes it consistent with other code.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
