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.

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.

Yes, but in the meantime, the x86 tree would need this patch to make
kprobes work correctly on modules.

I suspect that without this fix, with the enhanced hotplug and kprobes
patch, kprobes will use text_poke to insert breakpoints in modules
(vmalloced pages used), which will map the wrong pages and corrupt
random kernel locations instead of updating the correct page.

Work that would write protect the module pages should clearly be done,
but it can come in a later time. We have to make sure we interact
correctly with the page allocation debugging, as an example.

Here is the patch against x86.git 2.6.25-rc5 :

The shadow vmap for DEBUG_RODATA kernel text modification uses virt_to_page to
get the pages from the pointer address.

However, I think vmalloc_to_page would be required in case the page is used for
modules.

Since only the core kernel text is marked read-only, use kernel_text_address()
to make sure we only shadow map the core kernel text, not modules.

The sysenter path tries to enable interrupts immediately.  Unfortunately
this doesn't work in a paravirt environment, because not enough kernel
state has been set up at that point (namely, pointing %fs to the kernel
percpu data segment).  To fix this, defer ENABLE_INTERRUPTS until after
the kernel state has been set up.

Unfortunately this means that we're running with interrupts disabled
for a while without calling the IRQ tracing code, but that can't be
called without setting up %fs either.
