Hi All,

It turns out that creating the linear map can take a significant proportion of
the total boot time, especially when rodata=full. And most of the time is spent
waiting on superfluous tlb invalidation and memory barriers. This series reworks
the kernel pgtable generation code to significantly reduce the number of those
TLBIs, ISBs and DSBs. See each patch for details.

The below shows the execution time of map_mem() across a couple of different
systems with different RAM configurations. We measure after applying each patch
and show the improvement relative to base (v6.9-rc2):

               | Apple M2 VM | Ampere Altra| Ampere Altra| Ampere Altra
               | VM, 16G     | VM, 64G     | VM, 256G    | Metal, 512G
---------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------
               |   ms    (%) |   ms    (%) |   ms    (%) |    ms    (%)
---------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------
base           |  153   (0%) | 2227   (0%) | 8798   (0%) | 17442   (0%)
no-cont-remap  |   77 (-49%) |  431 (-81%) | 1727 (-80%) |  3796 (-78%)
batch-barriers |   13 (-92%) |  162 (-93%) |  655 (-93%) |  1656 (-91%)
no-alloc-remap |   11 (-93%) |  109 (-95%) |  449 (-95%) |  1257 (-93%)
lazy-unmap     |    6 (-96%) |   61 (-97%) |  257 (-97%) |   838 (-95%)

This series applies on top of v6.9-rc2. All mm selftests pass. I've compile and
boot tested various PAGE_SIZE and VA size configs.

Changes since v1 [1]
====================

  - Added Tested-by tags (thanks to Eric and Itaru)
  - Renamed ___set_pte() -> __set_pte_nosync() (per Ard)
  - Reordered patches (biggest impact & least controversial first)
  - Reordered alloc/map/unmap functions in mmu.c to aid reader
  - pte_clear() -> __pte_clear() in clear_fixmap_nosync()
  - Reverted generic p4d_index() which caused x86 build error. Replaced with
    unconditional p4d_index() define under arm64.
