    x86/mm: Simplify enabling direct_gbpages · e5008abe
    Luis R. Rodriguez authored
    direct_gbpages can be force enabled as an early parameter
    but not really have taken effect when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
    or KMEMCHECK is enabled. You can also enable direct_gbpages
    right now if you have an x86_64 architecture but your CPU
    doesn't really have support for this feature. In both cases
    PG_LEVEL_1G won't actually be enabled but direct_gbpages is used
    in other areas under the assumptions that PG_LEVEL_1G
    was set. Fix this by putting together all requirements
    which make this feature sensible to enable under, and only
    enable both finally flipping on PG_LEVEL_1G and leaving
    PG_LEVEL_1G set when this is true.
    
    We only enable this feature then to be possible on sensible
    builds defined by the new ENABLE_DIRECT_GBPAGES. If the
    CPU has support for it you can either enable this by using
    the DIRECT_GBPAGES option or using the early kernel parameter.
    If a platform had support for this you can always force disable
    it as well.
