9866b7e86a x86: memtest: use pointers of equal type for comparison
Commit c9690998ef (x86: memtest: remove
64-bit division) introduced following compile warning:

arch/x86/mm/memtest.c: In function 'memtest':
arch/x86/mm/memtest.c:56: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
arch/x86/mm/memtest.c:58: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

c9690998ef x86: memtest: remove 64-bit division
Using gcc 3.3.5 a "make allmodconfig" + "CONFIG_KVM=n"
triggers a build error:

 arch/x86/mm/built-in.o(.init.text+0x43f7): In function `__change_page_attr':
 arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:114: undefined reference to `__udivdi3'
 make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

The culprit turned out to be a division in arch/x86/mm/memtest.c
For more info see this thread:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124416232620683

The patch entirely removes the division that caused the build
error.

[ Impact: build fix with certain GCC versions ]

d1a8e77920 x86: make "memtest" like "memtest=17"
Impact: make boot command line "memtest" do one loop by default

So don't need to guess many patterns in one loop.

570c9e69aa x86: memtest: adapt log messages
- print test pattern instead of pattern number,
- show pattern as stored in memory,
- use proper priority flags,
- consistent use of u64 throughout the code

40823f737e x86: memtest: reuse test patterns when memtest parameter exceeds number of available patterns
Impact: fix unexpected behaviour when pattern number is out of range

Current implementation provides 4 patterns for memtest. The code doesn't
check whether the memtest parameter value exceeds the maximum pattern number.

Instead the memtest code pretends to test with non-existing patterns, e.g.
when booting with memtest=10 I've observed the following

  ...
  early_memtest: pattern num 10
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 0
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 1
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 2
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 3
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 4
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 5
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 6
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 7
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 8
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 9
  ...

But in fact Linux didn't test anything for patterns > 4 as the default
case in memtest() is to leave the function.

I suggest to use the memtest parameter as the number of tests to be
performed and to re-iterate over all existing patterns.

2cb0ebeeb6 x86: memtest fix use of reserve_early()
Hi all,

Wrong usage of 2nd parameter in reserve_early call.
66/75: reserve_early(start_bad, last_bad - start_bad, "BAD RAM");
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The correct way is to use 'end' address and not 'size'.
As a bonus a fix to the printk format.

1f067167a8 x86: seperate memtest from init_64.c
it's separate functionality that deserves its own file.

This also prepares 32-bit memtest support.
