I've been puzzling what CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP was good for.
The Kconfig help was not very helpful in explaining why one
want to set this option. This patch improves
it a bit, based on the original commit log. It's still
not fully clear, but then I couldn't find a concrete application
anywhere.

Support for GB pages mapped direct memory has been around for quite
some time and has not caused any problems as far as I know.
So it's time to remove the CONFIG_GBPAGES option and always enable
it by default. The option only controlled the default anyways, no
code. gbpages can be still disabled at runtime.

>From Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com>
This is an older patch from Jan Beulich to fix various problems
with the dwarf2 CFI unwind annotations in 64bit entry_64.S/head_64.S
CFI annotations are needed for reliable backtraces with
gdb, systemtap and other unwinders.
[AK: I keep forward porting it to to newer kernels for my own use,
but it should be really just included. So I'm submitting it on Jan's
behalf]

So do we, but the initial submission was rejected due to doing too many
things at once. I didn't since find time (admittedly also because not
giving it priority) to split the patch. Thanks for giving it another try!
