[PATCH 23/24] x86/mm/kaiser: Add boot time disable switch

Ingo Molnar

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Kaiser comes with overhead. The most expensive part is the CR3 switching in
the entry code.

Add a command line parameter which allows to disable Kaiser at boot time.

Most code paths simply check a variable, but the entry code uses a static
branch. The other code paths cannot use a static branch because they are
used before jump label patching is possible. Not an issue as the code
paths are not so performance sensitive as the entry/exit code.

This makes Kaiser depend on JUMP_LABEL and on a GCC which supports
it, but that's a resonable requirement.

The PGD allocation is still 8k when CONFIG_KAISER is enabled. This can be
addressed on top of this.
