In x86 PAE mode, stop treating pmds as a special case. Previously
they were always allocated and freed with the pgd. The modifies the
code to be the same as 64-bit mode, where they are allocated on
demand.
This is a step on the way to unifying 32/64-bit pagetable allocation
as much as possible.
There is a complicating wart, however. When you install a new
reference to a pmd in the pgd, the processor isn't guaranteed to see
it unless you reload cr3. Since reloading cr3 also has the
side-effect of flushing the tlb, this is an expense that we want to
avoid whereever possible.
This patch simply avoids reloading cr3 unless the update is to the
current pagetable. Later patches will optimise this further.

When changing a kernel page from RO->RW, it's OK to leave stale TLB
entries around, since doing a global flush is expensive and they pose
no security problem. They can, however, generate a spurious fault,
which we should catch and simply return from (which will have the
side-effect of reloading the TLB to the current PTE).
This can occur when running under Xen, because it frequently changes
kernel pages from RW->RO->RW to implement Xen's pagetable semantics.
It could also occur when using CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since it avoids
doing a global TLB flush after changing page permissions.

This patch fixes some bugs of EFI memory handing code.
- On x86_64, it is possible that EFI memory map can not be mapped via
identity map, so efi_map_memmap is removed, just use early_ioremap.
- On i386, the EFI memory map mapping take effect cross paging_init,
so it is not necessary to use efi_map_memmap.
- EFI memory map is unmapped in efi_enter_virtual_mode to avoid
early_ioremap leak.

Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd.
I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly
exception table sorting stuff.
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option
as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/
once that patch gets merged into mainline.
(I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll
wait with that until init.c is unified)
As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h
for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.

In Ingo's testing, he found a bug in the CPA selftest code. What would
happen is that the test would call change_page_attr_addr on a range of
memory, part of which was read only, part of which was writable. The
only thing the test wanted to change was the global bit...
What actually happened was that the selftest would take the permissions
of the first page, and then the change_page_attr_addr call would then
set the permissions of the entire range to this first page. In the
rodata section case, this resulted in pages after the .rodata becoming
read only... which made the kernel rather unhappy in many interesting
ways.
This is just another example of how dangerous the cpa API is (was); this
patch changes the test to use the incremental clear/set APIs
instead, and it changes the clear/set implementation to work on a 1 page
at a time basis.

Right now, if drivers or other code want to change, say, a cache attribute of a
page, the only API they have is change_page_attr(). c-p-a is a really bad API
for this, because it forces the caller to know *ALL* the attributes he wants
for the page, not just the 1 thing he wants to change. So code that wants to
set a page uncachable, needs to be aware of the NX status as well etc etc etc.
This patch introduces a set of new APIs for this, set_pages_<attr> and
set_memory_<attr>, that offer a logical change to the user, and leave all
attributes not implied by the requested logical change alone.
