Subject: [PATCH v3 0/10] x86/mm: Handle large PAT bit in pud/pmd interfaces

The PAT bit gets relocated to bit 12 when PUD/PMD mappings are used.  This
bit 12, however, is not covered by PTE_FLAGS_MASK, which is corrently used
for masking pfn and flags for all levels.  This patch-set updates pud/pmd
interfaces and multiple functions to handle the large PAT bit properly.

Patch 1/10-2/10 make changes necessary for patch 3/10 to use P?D_PAGE_MASK.

Patch 3/10 fixes pud/pmd interfaces to handle the PAT bit properly, and
patch 4/10 adds p?d_pgprot() interfaces for PUD/PMD.

Patch 5/10 fixes /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables to show the PAT bit
properly.

Patch 6/10-9/10 fix multiple functions to handle the large PAT bit properly.

Patch 10/10 fix the same pgprot handling in try_preserve_large_page() by
leveraging the changes made in patch 8/10.

Note, the PAT bit is first enabled in 4.2-rc1 with WT mappings.  The functions
fixed by patch 6/10-9/10 are not used with WT mappings yet.  These fixes will
protect them from future use with the PAT bit set.

---
v3:
 - Add patch 4/10 and 6/10-9/10 for multiple interfaces to handle the large
   PAT bit.
 - Add patch 10/10 to fix the same pgprot handling in
   try_preserve_large_page().

v2:
 - Change p?n_pfn() to handle the PAT bit. (Juergen Gross)
 - Mask pfn and flags with P?D_PAGE_MASK. (Juergen Gross)
 - Change p?d_page_vaddr() and p?d_page() to handle the PAT bit.
