Subject: [PATCH 03/23] x86, kaiser: introduce user-mapped per-cpu areas


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

These patches are based on work from a team at Graz University of
Technology posted here: https://github.com/IAIK/KAISER

The KAISER approach keeps two copies of the page tables: one for running
in the kernel and one for running userspace.  But, there are a few
structures that are needed for switching in and out of the kernel and
a good subset of *those* are per-cpu data.

This patch creates a new kind of per-cpu data that is mapped and
can be used no matter which copy of the page tables is active.
Users of this new section will be forthcoming.

Thanks to Hugh Dickins for cleanups to this code.
