Subject: [PATCHv6 0/4] x86: 5-level related changes into decompression code<Paste>

Here's few changes to x86 decompression code.

The first patch is pure cosmetic change: it gives file with KASLR helpers
a proper name.

The last three patches bring support of booting into 5-level paging mode if
a bootloader put the kernel above 4G.

Patch 2/4 Renames l5_paging_required() into paging_prepare() and change
interface of the function.
Patch 3/4 Handles allocation of space for trampoline and gets it prepared.
Patch 4/4 Gets trampoline used.

Kirill A. Shutemov (4):
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Rename pagetable.c to kaslr_64.c
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Introduce paging_prepare()
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Prepare trampoline memory
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Handle 5-level paging boot if kernel is above
    4G
