Subject: [BUGFIX][PATCH 1/2] x86, mem-hotplug: separate x86_64 vmalloc_sync_all()
into separate functions
Ingo & Peter,
These two patches are critical fixes for memory-hotplug on servers with large hotpluggable memory areas.
The bug is that when memory hotplug-adding happens for a large enough area that a new PGD entry is
needed for the direct mapping, the PGDs of other processes would not get updated. This leads to some
CPUs oopsing when they have to access the unmapped areas, e.g. onlining CPUs on the new added node.
Pls. apply if possible. Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] x86, mem-hotplug: separate x86_64 vmalloc_sync_all() into separate functions
No behavior change here.
Move some of vmalloc_sync_all() code into a new function
sync_global_pgds() that will be useful for memory hotplug.
