[MINI-OS PATCH 0/2] x86: don't use a memory page for mapping the shared info page



This is a small add-on series after the live-update series sent a week
ago.

I realized that having the shared info page in the normal RAM area is
a bad idea when considering kexec, as the new kernel might want it at
a different location.

So this series is moving the shared info page away from the RAM areas,
resulting in a net win of one memory page.

  mm: provide a way to do very early page table allocations
  x86: don't use a memory page for mapping the shared info page
