6ec6e0d9f2 srat, x86: add support for nodes spanning other nodes
For example, If the physical address layout on a two node system with 8 GB
memory is something like:
node 0: 0-2GB, 4-6GB
node 1: 2-4GB, 6-8GB

Current kernels fail to boot/detect this NUMA topology.

ACPI SRAT tables can expose such a topology which needs to be supported.

a65d1d644c x86: increase size of APICID
Increase the number of bits in an apicid from 8 to 32.

By default, MP_processor_info() gets the APICID from the
mpc_config_processor structure. However, this structure limits
the size of APICID to 8 bits. This patch allows the caller of
MP_processor_info() to optionally pass a larger APICID that will
be used instead of the one in the mpc_config_processor struct.

use X86_EFLAGS_VM instead because it is also used

f5c24a7fd0 x86: don't use large pages to map the first 2/4MB of memory
Intel recommends to not use large pages for the first 1MB
of the physical memory because there are fixed size MTRRs there
which cause splitups in the TLBs.

On AMD doing so is also a good idea.

The implementation is a little different between 32bit and 64bit.
On 32bit I just taught the initial page table set up about this
because it was very simple to do. This also has the advantage
that the risk of a prefetch ever seeing the page even
if it only exists for a short time is minimized.

On 64bit that is not quite possible, so use set_memory_4k() a little
later (in check_bugs) instead.

c9caa02c52 x86: add set_memory_4k to pageattr.c
Add a new function to force split large pages into 4k pages.
This is needed for some followup optimizations.

I had to add a new field to cpa_data to pass down the information
that try_preserve_large_page should not run.

Right now no set_page_4k() because I didn't need it and all the
specialized users I have in mind would be more comfortable with
pure addresses. I also didn't export it because it's unlikely
external code needs it.

fact. This is important for code that really needs to know about
all mapping aliases.

2e5d9c857d x86: PAT infrastructure patch
Sets up pat_init() infrastructure.

PAT MSR has following setting.
	PAT
	|PCD
	||PWT
	|||
	000 WB		_PAGE_CACHE_WB
	001 WC		_PAGE_CACHE_WC
	010 UC-		_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS
	011 UC		_PAGE_CACHE_UC

We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC.
UC_MINUS is used to provide backward compatibility to existing /dev/mem
users(X).

reserve_memtype and free_memtype are new interfaces for maintaining alias-free
mapping. It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and
not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result
of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT.

pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr
are same.

ef9257668e x86: do kernel direct mapping at boot using GB pages
The AMD Fam10h CPUs support new Gigabyte page table entry for
mapping 1GB at a time. Use this for the kernel direct mapping.

Only done for 64bit because i386 does not support GB page tables.

This only applies to the data portion of the direct mapping; the
kernel text mapping stays with 2MB pages because the AMD Fam10h
microarchitecture does not support GB ITLBs and AMD recommends
against using GB mappings for code.

Can be disabled with disable_gbpages on the kernel command line

00d1c5e057 x86: add gbpages switches
These new controls toggle experimental support for a new CPU feature,
the straightforward extension of largepages from the pmd level to the
pud level, which allows 1GB (kernel) TLBs instead of 2MB TLBs.

Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet.

Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the
boot line can be used to enable it. If enabled in the .config then
nogbpages boot option disables it.
