    x86/mm/pat: Ensure cpa->pfn only contains page frame numbers · edc3b912
    Matt Fleming authored
    The x86 pageattr code is confused about the data that is stored
    in cpa->pfn, sometimes it's treated as a page frame number,
    sometimes it's treated as an unshifted physical address, and in
    one place it's treated as a pte.
    
    The result of this is that the mapping functions do not map the
    intended physical address.
    
    This isn't a problem in practice because most of the addresses
    we're mapping in the EFI code paths are already mapped in
    'trampoline_pgd' and so the pageattr mapping functions don't
    actually do anything in this case. But when we move to using a
    separate page table for the EFI runtime this will be an issue.
