These are _very_ lightly tested. I'm throwing them out there for
folks are looking for a fix.

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Part of the global bit _setting_ patches also includes clearing the
Global bit when we do not want it. That is done with
set_memory_nonglobal(), which uses change_page_attr_clear() in
pageattr.c under the covers. However, it's pretty clear that
change_page_attr_clear() has not been heavily used early in boot, or
on kernel text.
It has checks like BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()), looking for interrupt
disabling but that also trip in early boot on certain preempt
configurations. Just copy the existing BUG_ON() sequence to check for
early boot.
