Subject: [GIT PULL] x86: more header untangling

Hi Ingo,

I updated my x86/untangle branch with a merge of tip/x86/headers, which 
needed a couple of little conflict resolutions.  Basically this series 
splits out all the simple definitions into -defs.h headers, which in 
turn only have very simple dependencies (either on other -defs.h 
headers, or core generic headers like linux/types.h).  It should go some 
way to making it easier to simplify other header's dependencies.

BTW, I've been trying to work out what the real distinction between 
asm/page*.h and asm/pgtable*.h is.  pgtable*.h obviously has stuff that 
specifically relates to the details of the page table structures, entry 
formats, bits, and so on, whereas page*.h has more general things like 
page sizes, the layout of the kernel's physical and virtual address 
spaces, etc.  So it seems like an anomaly that its page*.h which ends up 
defining all the pte_t/pteval_t/etc types and their associated 
functions.  We could move all those into pgtable*.h, but pgtable*.h 
would still depend on page*.h for things like PTE_PFN_MASK, etc, so I 
don't think it would make any practical difference.

Thanks,
    J
