Ok, here I'd like to have a C version instead of further complicating an
already
complex assembly version...
I.e. the existing setup code should be converted to C in one patch, and then
another patch should add 5-level paging support to the C code.
See how this was done for the 32-bit setup code already:
5a7670ee23f2 x86/boot/32: Convert the 32-bit pgtable setup code from assembly
to C
Also, please split it up into per boot path and topic, i.e. have a sparate
patch
for the Xen bits, the KASAN bits, the kexec extension, etc.
Thanks,
Ingo
