This patch renames VM_MASK to X86_VM_MASK (which
in turn defined as alias to X86_EFLAGS_VM) to better
distinguish from virtual memory flags. We can't just
use X86_EFLAGS_VM instead because it is also used
for conditional compilation

A 1G section size makes memory hotplug too coarse in a virtual
environment. Retuce it by a factor of 2 to 512M. I would have liked
to make it smaller, but it runs out of reserved flags in the page flags.

This implementation in x86_64 is clean and consistent, but we
sacrifice it for the sake of being equal to i386 (since the other
way around would be harder).

Although those constants are always defined in x86_64,
and will have the effect of just including the headers
in the very way we did before, I'm doing this in a separate
patch to be conservative and avoid surprises.

The code is now the same between i386 and x86_64. We already
know what happens when it reaches this point: They go away
from the arch-specific headers, and suddenly appears in the common
header.

We provide a bogus macro for x86_64 in case CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC
is not set. It will always be set for x86_64, so the effect
is just to make the code equal to i386.

APIC_DEFINITION is not defined in x86_64, so in practice, we keep

The new cacheflush.h API's didn't have any comments describing
how they're to be used yet and the conventions around these functions.
This patch adds comments to this effect; in order for that to be
a logical series, some prototypes had to move around.

When compilers became generally better at optimizing code than humans, the
register keyword became mostly useless. For the floppy driver it certainly
is since it's so slow compared to the rest of the system that optimizing
access to a single variable or two isn't going to make any real difference
So let's just leave it to the compiler - it'll do a better job anyway.
This patch does away with a few register keywords in the x86 floppy driver.

On AMD SMM protected memory is part of the address map, but handled
internally like an MTRR. That leads to large pages getting split
internally which has some performance implications. Check for the
AMD TSEG MSR and split the large page mapping on that area
explicitely if it is part of the direct mapping.
There is also SMM ASEG, but it is in the first 1MB and already covered by
the earlier split first page patch.
Idea for this came from an earlier patch by Andreas Herrmann
On a RevF dual Socket Opteron system kernbench shows a clear
improvement from this:
(together with the earlier patches in this series, especially the
split first 2MB patch)
[lower is better]
no split stddev split stddev delta
Elapsed Time 87.146 (0.727516) 84.296 (1.09098) -3.2%
User Time 274.537 (4.05226) 273.692 (3.34344) -0.3%
System Time 34.907 (0.42492) 34.508 (0.26832) -1.1%
Percent CPU 322.5 (38.3007) 326.5 (44.5128) +1.2%
=> About 3.2% improvement in elapsed time for kernbench.
With GB pages on AMD Fam1h the impact of splitting is much higher of course,
since it would split two full GB pages (together with the first
1MB split patch) instead of two 2MB pages. I could not benchmark
a clear difference in kernbench on gbpages, so I kept it disabled
for that case
That was only limited benchmarking of course, so if someone
was interested in running more tests for the gbpages case
that could be revisited (contributions welcome)
I didn't bother implementing this for 32bit because it is very
unlikely the 32bit lowmem mapping overlaps into the TSEG near 4GB
and the 2MB low split is already handled for both.
[ mingo@elte.hu: do it on gbpages kernels too, there's no clear reason
why it shouldnt help there. ]

RDMSR for 64bit values with exception handling.
Makes it easier to deal with 64bit valued MSRs. The old 64bit code
base had that too as checking_rdmsrl(), but it got dropped somehow.

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.

Even on 32bit 2MB pages can map more memory than is in the true
max_low_pfn if end_pfn is not highmem and not aligned to 2MB.
Add a end_pfn_map similar to x86-64 that accounts for this
fact. This is important for code that really needs to know about
all mapping aliases.
