Linus noticed a second bug and an uncleanliness:
- we'd return on any instruction fetch fault
- we'd use both the value of 16 and the PF_INSTR symbol which are
the same and make no sense
the cleanup nicely unifies this piece of logic.

some early Athlon XP's and Opterons generate bogus faults on prefetch
instructions. The workaround for this regressed over .24 - reinstate it.

turns out that pgd_lock has been used on 64-bit x86 in an irq-unsafe
way for almost two years, since commit 8c914cb704.

In very rare cases, on certain CPUs, we could end up in the spurious
fault handler and ignore a large pud/pmd mapping. The resulting pte
pointer points into the mapped physical space and dereferencing it
will fault recursively.
Make the code aware of large mappings and do the permission check
on the pmd/pud entry, when a large pud/pmd mapping is detected.

Use a standard list threaded through page->lru for maintaining the pgd
list on PAE. This is the same as 64-bit, and seems saner than using a
non-standard list via page->index.

The change from current to tsk in do_page_fault is safe as
this is set at the very beginning of the function.
Removes a likely() annotation from the 64-bit version, this
could have instead been added to 32-bit.

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.

On !PAE 32-bit, _PAGE_NX will be 0, making is_prefetch always
return early. The test is sufficient on PAE as __supported_pte_mask
is updated in the same places as nx_enabled in init_32.c which also
takes disable_nx into account.
