x86, crashdump, /proc/vmcore: remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL from kdump
I would suggest to remove the "experimental" status from Kdump.
Kdump is now in the kernel since a long time and used by Enterprise
distributions. I don't think that "experimental" is true any more.

x86 boot: only pick up additional EFI memmap if add_efi_memmap flag
Applies on top of the previous patch:
x86 boot: add code to add BIOS provided EFI memory entries to kernel
Instead of always adding EFI memory map entries (if present) to the
memory map after initially finding either E820 BIOS memory map entries
and/or kernel command line memmap entries, -instead- only add such
additional EFI memory map entries if the kernel boot option:
add_efi_memmap
is specified.
Requiring this 'add_efi_memmap' option is backward compatible with
kernels that didn't load such additional EFI memory map entries in
the first place, and it doesn't override a configuration that tries
to replace all E820 or EFI BIOS memory map entries with ones given
entirely on the kernel command line.

mm, generic, x86 boot: more tweaks to hex prints of some pfn addresses
Fix some problems with (and applies on top of) a previous patch:
x86 boot: show pfn addresses in hex not decimal in some kernel info printks
Primarily change "0x%8lx" format, which displays with a right aligned
space filled hex number (spaces between the "0x" prefix and the number),
into "%0#10lx" format, which zero fills instead of space fills, and
which uses the printf flag '#' to request the "0x" prefix instead of
hard coding it.
Also replace some other "0x%lx" formats with "%#lx", making use of the
'#' printf flag again.

a gap for PCI optional devices.

There is no need to keep NMI_DISABLED definition and use it

x86 boot: allow overlapping early reserve memory ranges
Add support for overlapping early memory reservations.
In general, they still can't overlap, and will panic
with "Overlapping early reservations" if they do overlap.
But if a memory range is reserved with the new call:
reserve_early_overlap_ok()
rather than with the usual call:
reserve_early()
then subsequent early reservations are allowed to overlap.
This new reserve_early_overlap_ok() call is only used in one
place so far, which is the "BIOS reserved" reservation for the
the EBDA region, which out of Paranoia reserves more than what
the BIOS might have specified, and which thus might overlap with
another legitimate early memory reservation (such as, perhaps,
the EFI memmap.)

build: add __page_aligned_data and __page_aligned_bss
Making a variable page-aligned by using
__attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) is fragile because if
sizeof(variable) is not also a multiple of page size, it leaves
variables in the remainder of the section unaligned.
This patch introduces two new qualifiers, __page_aligned_data and
__page_aligned_bss to set the section *and* the alignment of
variables. This makes page-aligned variables more robust because the
linker will make sure they're aligned properly. Unfortunately it
requires *all* page-aligned data to use these macros...
