    [PATCH] x86-64: Clean up the early boot page table · 67dcbb6b
    Vivek Goyal authored
    - Merge physmem_pgt and ident_pgt, removing physmem_pgt.  The merge
      is broken as soon as mm/init.c:init_memory_mapping is run.
    - As physmem_pgt is gone don't export it in pgtable.h.
    - Use defines from pgtable.h for page permissions.
    - Fix the physical memory identity mapping so it is at the correct
      address.
    - Remove the physical memory mapping from wakeup_level4_pgt it
      is at the wrong address so we can't possibly be usinging it.
    - Simply NEXT_PAGE the work to calculate the phys_ alias
      of the labels was very cool.  Unfortuantely it was a brittle
      special purpose hack that makes maitenance more difficult.
      Instead just use label - __START_KERNEL_map like we do
      everywhere else in assembly.
