Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level paging for 4.15, Part 1

The first bunch of patches that prepare kernel to boot-time switching
between paging modes.

Please review and consider applying.

Andrey Ryabinin (1):
  x86/kasan: Use the same shadow offset for 4- and 5-level paging

Kirill A. Shutemov (5):
  mm/sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
  mm/zsmalloc: Prepare to variable MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS
  x86/xen: Provide pre-built page tables only for XEN_PV and XEN_PVH
  x86/xen: Drop 5-level paging support code from XEN_PV code
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Detect and handle 5-level paging at boot-time
