Here is v3 of 5-level paging patchset. Please review and consider applying.
== Overview ==
x86-64 is currently limited to 256 TiB of virtual address space and 64 TiB
of physical address space. We are already bumping into this limit: some
vendors offers servers with 64 TiB of memory today.
To overcome the limitation upcoming hardware will introduce support for
5-level paging[1]. It is a straight-forward extension of the current page
table structure adding one more layer of translation.
It bumps the limits to 128 PiB of virtual address space and 4 PiB of
physical address space. This "ought to be enough for anybody" ©.
== Patches ==
The patchset is build on top of v4.10-rc8.
Current QEMU upstream git supports 5-level paging. Use "-cpu qemu64,+la57"
to enable it.
Patch 1:
Detect la57 feature for /proc/cpuinfo.
Patches 2-7:
Brings 5-level paging to generic code and convert all
architectures to it using <asm-generic/5level-fixup.h>
Patches 8-19:
Convert x86 to properly folded p4d layer using
<asm-generic/pgtable-nop4d.h>.
Patches 20-32:
Enabling of real 5-level paging.
CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y will enable new paging mode.
Patch 33:
Introduce new prctl(2) handles -- PR_SET_MAX_VADDR and PR_GET_MAX_VADDR.
This aims to address compatibility issue. Only supports x86 for
now, but should be useful for other archtectures.

== TODO ==
There is still work to do:
- CONFIG_XEN is broken for 5-level paging.
Xen for 5-level paging requires more work to get functional.
Xen on 4-level paging works, so it's not a regression.
- Boot-time switch between 4- and 5-level paging.
We assume that distributions will be keen to avoid returning to the
i386 days where we shipped one kernel binary for each page table
layout.
As page table format is the same for 4- and 5-level paging it should
be possible to have single kernel binary and switch between them at
boot-time without too much hassle.
For now I only implemented compile-time switch.
This will implemented with separate patchset.
== Changelong ==

- Xen works for 4-level paging;
- EFI boot fixed for both 4- and 5-level paging;
- Hibernation fixed for 4-level paging;
- kexec() fixed;
- Couple of build fixes;
v2:
- Rebased to v4.10-rc1;
- RLIMIT_VADDR proposal;
- Fix virtual map and update documentation;
- Fix few build errors;
