x86: make ioremap() UC by default
Yes! A mere 120 c_p_a() fixing and rewriting patches later,
we are now confident that we can enable UC by default for

Every other architectures was doing this already. Doing so
makes Linux more robust against MTRR mixups (which might go
unnoticed if BIOS writers test other OSs only - where PAT
might override bad MTRRs defaults).

x86: fix pageattr-selftest
In Ingo's testing, he found a bug in the CPA selftest code. What would
happen is that the test would call change_page_attr_addr on a range of
memory, part of which was read only, part of which was writable. The
only thing the test wanted to change was the global bit...
What actually happened was that the selftest would take the permissions
of the first page, and then the change_page_attr_addr call would then
set the permissions of the entire range to this first page. In the
rodata section case, this resulted in pages after the .rodata becoming
read only... which made the kernel rather unhappy in many interesting
ways.
This is just another example of how dangerous the cpa API is (was); this
patch changes the test to use the incremental clear/set APIs
instead, and it changes the clear/set implementation to work on a 1 page

x86: fix early_ioremap() on 64-bit
Fix early_ioremap() on x86-64
I had ACPI failures on several machines since a few days. Symptom
was NUMA nodes not getting detected or worse cores not getting detected.
They all came from ACPI not being able to read various of its tables. I finally
bisected it down to Jeremy's "put _PAGE_GLOBAL into PAGE_KERNEL" change.
With that the fix was fairly obvious. The problem was that early_ioremap()
didn't use a "_all" flush that would affect the global PTEs too. So
with global bits getting used everywhere now an early_ioremap would
not actually flush a mapping if something else was mapped previously
on that slot (which can happen with early_iounmap inbetween)
This patch changes all flushes in init_64.c to be __flush_tlb_all()
and fixes the problem here.

Intel recommends to first flush the TLBs and then the caches
on caching attribute changes. c_p_a() previously did it the
other way round. Reorder that.
The procedure is still not fully compliant to the Intel documentation
because Intel recommends a all CPU synchronization step between
the TLB flushes and the cache flushes.
However on all new Intel CPUs this is now meaningless anyways
