mm, x86/mm: Untangle address space layout definitions from basic pgtable type definitions
- Untangle the somewhat incestous way of how VMALLOC_START is used all across the kernel, but is, on x86, defined deep inside one of the lowest level page table headers. It doesn't help that vmalloc.h only includes a single asm header: #include <asm/page.h> /* pgprot_t */ So there was no existing cross-arch way to decouple address layout definitions from page.h details. I used this: #ifndef VMALLOC_START # include <asm/vmalloc.h> #endif This way every architecture that wants to simplify page.h can do so. - Also on x86 we had a couple of LDT related inline functions that used the late-stage address space layout positions - but these could be uninlined without real trouble - the end result is cleaner this way as well.
