Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level paging for 4.15, Part 2

Hi Ingo,

Here's the second bunch of patches that prepare kernel to boot-time switching
between paging modes.

It's a small one. I hope we can get it in quick. :)

I include the zsmalloc patch again. We need something to address the issue.
If we would find a better solution, we can come back to the topic and
rework it.

Apart from zsmalloc patch, the patchset includes changes to decompression
code. I reworked these patches. They are split not exactly the way you've
described before, but I hope it's sensible anyway.

Please review and consider applying.

Kirill A. Shutemov (4):
  mm/zsmalloc: Prepare to variable MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Detect and handle 5-level paging at boot-time
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Introduce place_trampoline()
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Handle 5-level paging boot if kernel is above 4G
