[v2,0/3] x86/mm/64: Remove vmalloc/ioremap pgtable synchronization

Message

Hi,

here is a small patch-set to implement pre-allocation of the P4D/PUD
pages in the vmalloc/ioremap area of the address space. This allows to
remove the synchronization of these mappings for x86-64 and unexporting
the sync_global_pgds() function.

Please review.

Thanks,

	Joerg

Changes to v1:

	- Made failure at pre-allocation stage fatal
	- As a consequence removed the arch_sync_kernel_mappings()
	  implementation for x86-64
	- Unexported sync_global_pgds()
	- Removed some left-over debug code from the first patch
