Ping, either for applying the original patches or for guidance on how to proceed.
Gah, all of the gunk that get_cpu_address_sizes() touches are out of control.
They (phys/virt_bits and clflush) need to get consolidated back to a single copy that gets set up *once* in early boot and then read by everyone else. I've got a series to do that, but it's got its tentacles in quite a few places. They're not great backporting material.
Your patches make things a wee bit worse in the meantime, but they pale in comparison to the random spaghetti that we've already got. Also, we probably need the early TME stuff regardless.
I think I'll probably suck it up, apply them, then fix them up along with the greater mess.
Anybody have any better ideas?
