I realize that.
I also don't really like the patch as is (plus it fails modpost), but
IMO reusing __change_page_attr and __split_large_page is the right thing
to do.
Right, so teaching pageattr.c about memblock could theoretically come
around and bite us later when a page allocated with memblock gets freed
with free_page().
And looking at this more, we have all this kernel pagetable preparation
code down the init_mem_mapping() call and the pagetable setup in
arch/x86/mm/init_{32,64}.c
And that code even does some basic page splitting. Oh and it uses
alloc_low_pages() which knows whether to do memblock reservation or the
common __get_free_pages() when slabs are up.
I looked into arch/x86/mm/init_{32,64}.c and as you pointed the file contains
routines to do basic page splitting. I think it sufficient for our usage.
I should be able to drop the memblock patch from the series and update the
Patch 15 [1] to use the kernel_physical_mapping_init().
The kernel_physical_mapping_init() creates the page table mapping using
default KERNEL_PAGE attributes, I tried to extend the function by passing
'bool enc' flags to hint whether to clr or set _PAGE_ENC when splitting the
pages. The code did not looked clean hence I dropped that idea. Instead,
I took the below approach. I did some runtime test and it seem to be working okay.

So what would be much cleaner, IMHO, is if one would reuse that code to
change init_mm.pgd mappings early without copying pageattr.c.
init_mem_mapping() gets called before kvm_guest_init() in setup_arch()
so the guest would simply fixup its pagetable right there.
