[QUICKLIST 4/5] Quicklist support for x86_64

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Fri Mar 23 2007 - 02:30:14 EST


Conver x86_64 to using quicklists

This adds caching of pgds and puds, pmds, pte. That way we can
avoid costly zeroing and initialization of special mappings in the
pgd.

A second quicklist is used to separate out PGD handling. Thus we can carry
the initialized pgds of terminating processes over to the next process
needing them.

Also clean up the pgd_list handling to use regular list macros. Not using
the slab allocator frees up the lru field so we can use regular list macros.

The adding and removal of the pgds to the pgdlist is moved into the
constructor / destructor. We can then avoid moving pgds off the list that
are still in the quicklists reducing the pds creation and allocation
overhead further.
