We've had some troubles in the past with weird instructions. This
patch adds a self-test framework which can be used to verify that
a certain set of opcodes are decoded correctly. Of course, the
opcodes which are not tested can still give the wrong results.
In short, this is just a safeguard to catch unintentional changes
in the opcode decoder. It does not mean that errors can't still
occur!

This adds support for tracking the initializedness of memory that
was allocated with the page allocator. Highmem requests are not
tracked.

Lets use kmemcheck_pte_lookup() in kmemcheck_fault() instead of
open-coding it there.

This patch moves the CONFIG_X86_64 ifdef out of kmemcheck_opcode_decode() by
introducing a version of the function that always returns false for
CONFIG_X86_32.

Multiple ifdef'd definitions of the same global variable is ugly and
error-prone. Fix that up.

The "Bugs, beware!" printout during is cute but confuses users that something
bad happened so change the text to the more boring "Initialized" message.

This patch reorders code in error.c so that we can get rid of the forward
declarations.

General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that
detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every
read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using
kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been
written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.
Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.
Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.
