PPC: Bugfixes
x86:
* Support for mapping DAX areas with large nested page table entries.
* Cleanups and bugfixes here too. A particularly important one is
a fix for FPU load when the thread has TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD. There is
also a race condition which could be used in guest userspace to exploit
the guest kernel, for which the embargo expired today.
* Fast path for IPI delivery vmexits, shaving about 200 clock cycles
from IPI latency.
* Protect against "Spectre-v1/L1TF" (bring data in the cache via
speculative out of bound accesses, use L1TF on the sibling hyperthread
to read it), which unfortunately is an even bigger whack-a-mole game
than SpectreV1.
Sean continues his mission to rewrite KVM. In addition to a sizable
number of x86 patches, this time he contributed a pretty large refactoring
of vCPU creation that affects all architectures but should not have any
visible effect.
s390 will come next week together with some more x86 patches.

The following commit:
15f003d207 ("x86/mm/pat: Don't implicitly allow _PAGE_RW in kernel_map_pages_in_pgd()")
modified kernel_map_pages_in_pgd() to manage writable permissions
of memory mappings in the EFI page table in a different way, but
in the process, it removed the ability to clear NX attributes from
read-only mappings, by clobbering the clear mask if _PAGE_RW is not
being requested.
Failure to remove the NX attribute from read-only mappings is
unlikely to be a security issue, but it does prevent us from
tightening the permissions in the EFI page tables going forward,
so let's fix it now.

pat.h is a file whose main purpose is to provide the memtype_*() APIs.
PAT is the low level hardware mechanism - but the high level abstraction
is memtype.
So name the header <memtype.h> as well - this goes hand in hand with memtype.c
and memtype_interval.c.

- pat.c offers, dominantly, the memtype APIs - so rename it to memtype.c.
- pageattr.c is offering, primarily, the set_memory*() page attribute APIs,
which is offered via the <asm/set_memory.h> header: name the .c file
along the same pattern.
I.e. perform these renames, and move them all next to each other in arch/x86/mm/pat/:
pat.c => memtype.c
pat_internal.h => memtype.h
pat_interval.c => memtype_interval.c
pageattr.c => set_memory.c
pageattr-test.c => cpa-test.c
