[PATCH] convert x86_64 to 4 level page tables
Converted to true 4levels. The address space per process is expanded to 47bits now, the supported physical address space is 46bits. Lmbench fork/exit numbers are down a few percent because it has to walk much more pagetables, but some planned future optimizations will hopefully recover it. See Documentation/x86_64/mm.txt for more details on the memory map. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Converted to pud_t by Nick Piggin.
