So, I've done this and suddenly realized I hadn't boot-tested i386. It
doesn't work, unfortunately. (Which I find strange: I'd expect 0day to
have noticed...)
Baoquan, have you tested this on 32-bit systems? I get a variety of
failures. Either it boots okay, it reboots, or I get tons of pte
errors like this:
[ 0.000000] clearing pte for ram above max_low_pfn: pfn: 37dcc pmd:
f9144f7c pmd phys: 39144f7c pte: f9a1b730 pte phys: 39a1b730
Can you confirm? I suspect relocation problems, but ran out of time
today to debug it.
I have the entire series with cleaned up changelogs and various other
refactorings up here now:

Thanks!
