Merge branch 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 mm tree changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change is full PAT support from Jürgen Gross:

     The x86 architecture offers via the PAT (Page Attribute Table) a
     way to specify different caching modes in page table entries.  The
     PAT MSR contains 8 entries each specifying one of 6 possible cache
     modes.  A pte references one of those entries via 3 bits:
     _PAGE_PAT, _PAGE_PWT and _PAGE_PCD.

     The Linux kernel currently supports only 4 different cache modes.
     The PAT MSR is set up in a way that the setting of _PAGE_PAT in a
     pte doesn't matter: the top 4 entries in the PAT MSR are the same
     as the 4 lower entries.

     This results in the kernel not supporting e.g. write-through mode.
     Especially this cache mode would speed up drivers of video cards
     which now have to use uncached accesses.

     OTOH some old processors (Pentium) don't support PAT correctly and
     the Xen hypervisor has been using a different PAT MSR configuration
     for some time now and can't change that as this setting is part of
     the ABI.

     This patch set abstracts the cache mode from the pte and introduces
     tables to translate between cache mode and pte bits (the default
     cache mode "write back" is hard-wired to PAT entry 0).  The tables
     are statically initialized with values being compatible to old
     processors and current usage.  As soon as the PAT MSR is changed
     (or - in case of Xen - is read at boot time) the tables are changed
     accordingly.  Requests of mappings with special cache modes are
     always possible now, in case they are not supported there will be a
     fallback to a compatible but slower mode.

     Summing it up, this patch set adds the following features:

      - capability to support WT and WP cache modes on processors with
        full PAT support

      - processors with no or uncorrect PAT support are still working as
        today, even if WT or WP cache mode are selected by drivers for
        some pages

      - reduction of Xen special handling regarding cache mode

  Another change is a boot speedup on ridiculously large RAM systems,
  plus other smaller fixes"
