[MODERATED] [PATCH 2/8] L1TFv8 4

[Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>]

Here's a patch that switches the order of "type" and
"offset" in the x86-64 encoding in preparation of the next
patch which inverts the swap entry to protect against L1TF.

That means that now the offset is bits 9-58 in the page table, and that
the type is in the bits that hardware generally doesn't care about.

That, in turn, means that if you have a desktop chip with only 40 bits of
physical addressing, now that the offset starts at bit 9, you still have
to have 30 bits of offset actually *in use* until bit 39 ends up being
clear.

So that's 4 terabyte of swap space (because the offset is counted in
pages, so 30 bits of offset is 42 bits of actual coverage). With bigger
physical addressing, that obviously grows further, until you hit the limit
of the offset (at 50 bits of offset - 62 bits of actual swap file
coverage).
