The early ioremap fixmap entries cover half (or for 32-bit
non-PAE, a quarter) of a page table, yet they got
uncondtitionally aligned so far to a 256-entry boundary. This is
not necessary if the range of page table entries anyway falls
into a single page table.
This buys back, for (theoretically) 50% of all configurations
(25% of all non-PAE ones), at least some of the lowmem
necessarily lost with commit e621bd18958ef5dbace3129ebe17a0a475e127d9.

This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted
Execution Technology (Intel TXT).
Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution
Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that
provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms.
Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT).
Intel TXT in Brief:
o Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM)
o Data protection in case of improper shutdown
o Measurement and verification of launched environment
Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some
non-vPro systems. It is currently available on desktop systems based on
the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP
dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45
Express chipsets.
For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/.
This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which
has been updated for the new released platforms.
A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to
configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file
in this patch.
This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality,
documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure,
and boot detection of a TXT launch. Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system
will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes
properly.

Masami reported:
> Since the fixmap pages are assigned higher address to lower,
> text_poke() has to use it with inverted order (FIX_TEXT_POKE1
> to FIX_TEXT_POKE0).
I prefer to just invert the order of the fixmap declaration.
It's simpler and more straightforward.
Backward fixmaps seems to be used by both x86 32 and 64.
It's really rare but a nasty bug, because it only hurts when
instructions to patch are crossing a page boundary. If this
happens, the fixmap write accesses will spill on the following
fixmap, which may very well crash the system. And this does not
crash the system, it could leave illegal instructions in place.
Thanks Masami for finding this.
It seems to have crept into the 2.6.30-rc series, so this calls
for a -stable inclusion.

The merge of the 32- and 64-bit fixmap headers made a latent
bug on x86-64 a real one: with the right config settings
it is possible for FIX_OHCI1394_BASE to overlap the FIX_BTMAP_*
range.

Use phys_addr_t for receiving a physical address argument instead of
unsigned long. This allows fixmap to handle pages higher than 4GB on
x86-32.

Use fixmaps instead of vmap/vunmap in text_poke() for avoiding
page allocation and delayed unmapping.
At the result of above change, text_poke() becomes atomic and can be called
from stop_machine() etc.

Impact: unification
This patch unify fixmap_32.h and fixmap_64.h into fixmap.h.
Things that we can't merge now are using CONFIG_X86_{32,64}
(e.g.:vsyscall and EFI)

Impact: introduce new APIs, separate kmap code from CONFIG_HIGHMEM
This takes the code used for CONFIG_HIGHMEM memory mappings except that
it's designed for dynamic IO resource mapping.
These fixmaps are available even with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
