476c6c11a9 fix lguest rmmod "bad pgd"
After 17d57a9206 ("x86: fix x86-32 early
fixmap initialization.") removing lg.ko caused a printk from vunmap:

	mm/memory.c:115: bad pgd 004b3027.

On the second use after module load, the kernel crashes.

This fixes the immediate problem (accessed and dirty bits not set as
expected in pmd_none_or_clear_bad).  I can't see why this would cause
a crash, but I haven't been able to reproduce it once this is applied.

Thanks for the reminder I thought we had fixed this problem a while ago.

Needed to get fixed virtual address for USB debug and earlycon with mmio.

fa76dab935 x86: clean up setup.h and the boot code
Make <asm/setup.h> usable by the boot code.

Clean up vestiges of the old command-line protocol from setup.h and
head_32.S (it is still supported from the boot loader point of
view, since it is converted to the new command-line protocol by the
boot code.)

a24e785111 i386: paravirt boot sequence
This patch uses the updated boot protocol to do paravirtualized boot.
If the boot version is >= 2.07, then it will do two things:

 1. Check the bootparams loadflags to see if we should reload the
    segment registers and clear interrupts.  This is appropriate
    for normal native boot and some paravirtualized environments, but
    inapproprate for others.

 2. Check the hardware architecture, and dispatch to the appropriate
    kernel entrypoint.  If the bootloader doesn't set this, then we
    simply do the normal boot sequence.

1e3e19723e x86: prepare page allocator for high allocations on PAGEALLOC=y
To preserve the DMA pool in CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y kernels, we'll
allocate pagetables from above the 16MB DMA limit, so we'll have to set
up boot pagetables to cover 16MB more RAM (worst-case).
