Tejun Heo f32ff5388d x86: load pointer to pda into %gs while brining up a CPU
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

CPU startup code in head_64.S loaded address of a zero page into %gs
for temporary use till pda is loaded but address to the actual pda is
available at the point.  Load the real address directly instead.

This will help unifying percpu and pda handling later on.

This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
per cpu area" patch.

Rafael J. Wysocki 3e1e9002aa x86: change static allocation of trampoline area
Impact: fix trampoline sizing bug, save space

While debugging a suspend-to-RAM related issue it occured to me that
if the trampoline code had grown past 4 KB, we would have been
allocating too little memory for it, since the 4 KB size of the
trampoline is hardcoded into arch/x86/kernel/e820.c .  Change that
by making the kernel compute the trampoline size and allocate as much
memory as necessary.

H. Peter Anvin 1965aae3c9 x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
