I ran into a 4.9 build warning in randconfig testing, starting with the
KAISER patches:

arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c: In function 'alloc_ldt_struct':
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h:208:24: error: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Werror=overflow]
 #define __PAGE_KERNEL  (__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC | _PAGE_NX)
                        ^
arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:81:6: note: in expansion of macro '__PAGE_KERNEL'
      __PAGE_KERNEL);
      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

I originally ran into this last year when the patches were part of linux-next,
and tried to work around it by using the proper 'pteval_t' types consistently,
but that caused additional problems.

This takes a much simpler approach, and makes the argument type of the dummy
helper always 64-bit, which is wide enough for any page table layout and
won't hurt since this call is just an empty stub anyway.

This patch introduces our implementation of KAISER (Kernel Address
Isolation to have Side-channels Efficiently Removed), a kernel isolation
technique to close hardware side channels on kernel address information.

This combined patch for 3.2.96 was derived from hughd's patches below
for 3.18.72, in 2017-12-04's kaiser-3.18.72.tar; except for the last,
which was sent in 2017-12-09's nokaiser-3.18.72.tar.  They have been
combined in order to minimize the effort of rebasing: most of the
patches in the 3.18.72 series were small fixes and cleanups and
enhancements to three large patches.  About the only new work in this
backport is a simple reimplementation of kaiser_remove_mapping():
since mm/pageattr.c changed a lot between 3.2 and 3.18, and the
mods there for Kaiser never seemed necessary.
