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

The memory resource is also used for main memory, and we need it to
allocate physical addresses for memory hotplug. Knobbling io space is
enough to get the job done anyway.

xen does not use the global cpu_initialized mask, but rather,
a specific one. So we change its name so it won't conflict with the upcoming
movement of cpu_initialized_mask from smp_64.h to smp_32.h.

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. ]

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.

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.

When end_pfn is not aligned to 2MB (or 1GB) then the kernel might
map more memory than end_pfn. Account this in max_pfn_mapped.

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.

Currently they are in .text.head because the rest of head_64.S.
.text.head is not removed as init data, but the early exception handlers
should be because they are not needed after early boot of the BP.
So move them over.

The early exception handlers are currently set up using a macro
recursion. There is only one user left. Replace the macro with a
standard loop in place.
Noop patch, just a cleanup.

All of early setup runs with interrupts disabled, so there is no
need to set up early exception handlers for vectors >= 32
This saves some minor text size.
