Subject: [PATCH] Fix early_ioremap on x86-64

Fix early_ioremap on x86-64

[Venki, sorry for blaming PAT for this earlier. It was innocent.]
[Note the patch is on top of git-x86 + gbpages applied. I think
there will be an trivial reject without gbpages-direct applied first]

I had ACPI failures on several machines since a few days. Symptom
was NUMA nodes not getting detected or worse cores not getting detected.
They all came from ACPI not being able to read various of its tables. I finally
bisected it down to Jeremy's "put _PAGE_GLOBAL into PAGE_KERNEL" change.
With that the fix was fairly obvious. The problem was that early_ioremap()
didn't use a "_all" flush that would affect the global PTEs too. So 
with global bits getting used everywhere now an early_ioremap would
not actually flush a mapping if something else was mapped previously
on that slot (which can happen with early_iounmap inbetween)

This patch changes all flushes in init_64.c to be __flush_tlb_all()
and fixes the problem here.
