Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/mm for 6.6-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull a pair of small x86/mm changes for 6.6-rc1.  The INVPCID
one is purely a cleanup.  The PAT one fixes a real issue, albeit a
relatively obscure one (graphics device passthrough under Xen).  The
fix also makes the code much more readable.
