[patch 3/7] x86, cpa: make the kernel physical mapping initialization a two pass sequence

From: Suresh Siddha
Date: Tue Sep 23 2008 - 17:23:33 EST


In the first pass, kernel physical mapping will be setup using large or
small pages but uses the same PTE attributes as that of the early
PTE attributes setup by early boot code in head_[32|64].S

After flushing TLB's, we go through the second pass, which setups the
direct mapped PTE's with the appropriate attributes (like NX, GLOBAL etc)
which are runtime detectable.

This two pass mechanism conforms to the TLB app note which says:

"Software should not write to a paging-structure entry in a way that would
change, for any linear address, both the page size and either the page frame
or attributes."
