Hi

here are a couple of fixes and documentation improvements for the use of
the trampoline_pgd in the kernel. Most importantly it fixes the issue
that switching to the trampoline_pgd will unmap the kernel stack and
real_mode_header, making crashes likely before the code can actually
jump to real mode.

The first patch adds a comment to document that the trampoline_pgd
aliases kernel page-tables in the user address range, establishing
global TLB entries for these addresses. The next two patches add
global TLB flushes when switching to and from the trampoline_pgd.

The last patch extends the trampoline_pgd to cover the whole kernel
address range. This is needed to make sure the stack and the
real_mode_header are still mapped after the switch and that the code
flow can safely reach real-mode.

Please review.

Thanks,

	Joerg
