So looks like this series feel between the cracks during the holiday 
season.

To help move them along, I've fixed up the first patch with the review 
feedback clarification requests, and applied patch #1 and #2 to 
tip:x86/mm:

  4f10ec03fe1e ("x86/mm/ident_map: Fix theoretical virtual address overflow to zero")
  376daf20eda4 ("x86/acpi: Replace manual page table initialization with kernel_ident_mapping_init()")

Patches #3 and #4 don't apply anymore, due to interference by other 
work with commits like:

  4b5bc2ec9a23 ("x86/kexec: Allocate PGD for x86_64 transition page tables separately")

If the remaining patches are still relevant, mind porting them to 
latest -tip?

Thanks,

	Ingo
