Definitely, this needs a lot of hammering before going upstream.

So here's what I got so far, I went and changed everything called
swapper_* when used to prep the initial page table to initial_*. Then
in setup_arch I switch to the swapper_pg_dir after copying the kernel
address mappings into it so all other places touching swapper_pg_dir can
remain unchanged. Then, initial_page_table is still used for booting the
APs.

The nice effect is that we drop all that swsusp_pg_dir for ACPI_SLEEP
and unifying the do_boot_cpu() part of start_secondary() even more.

So this boots fine on 32-bit PAE but reboots the machine on !PAE when
the AP does

	/* Set up the stack pointer */
	lss stack_start,%esp

	pushl $0
	popfl

in head_32.S. I've debugged this by adding endless loops in the manner of 

@@@ -274,6 -274,6 +274,7 @@@ ENTRY(startup_32_smp
        movl %eax,%es
        movl %eax,%fs
        movl %eax,%gs
+      movl $0xdeadbeef, %ebx
  #endif /* CONFIG_SMP */

so that this happens only on the AP and then did

+667:
+      cmpl $0xdeadbeef, %ebx
+      je 667b
+

So when the loop is before the "pushl.. popfl" sequence above, the
BSP would print "CPU stuck??" for the AP and continue booting by not
bringing the AP online. If I put the endless loop after that sequence,
the machine reboots. This is also nicely reproducible in kvm for even
faster and safer experimenting with the code.


Thanks.
