x86: add gbpages switches
These new controls toggle experimental support for a new CPU feature, the straightforward extension of largepages from the pmd level to the pud level, which allows 1GB (kernel) TLBs instead of 2MB TLBs. Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet. Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the boot line can be used to enable it. If enabled in the .config then nogbpages boot option disables it. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
