Subject: [PATCH 0/9] x86/mm: Dynamic memory layout

This is the next batch of patches required to bring boot-time switching
between 4- and 5-level paging. Please review and consider applying.

Patches in this patchset makes memory layout dynamic enough to be able to
switch between paging modes at boot-time.

Ingo, it worth noticing that we discussed some parts of the patchset
before (back in October) and had disagrement on how to handle situation.
You can read my position on the matter by the link[1].

Some changes made in this patchset can be replaced by patching constants
in code once we have infrastructure for this.
