Hugh Dickins c1961a4631 x86/events/intel/ds: Map debug buffers in cpu_entry_area 
The BTS and PEBS buffers both have their virtual addresses programmed into
the hardware.  This means that any access to them is performed via the page
tables.  The times that the hardware accesses these are entirely dependent
on how the performance monitoring hardware events are set up.  In other
words, there is no way for the kernel to tell when the hardware might
access these buffers.

To avoid perf crashes, place 'debug_store' allocate pages and map them into
the cpu_entry_area.

The PEBS fixup buffer does not need this treatment.

[ tglx: Got rid of the kaiser_add_mapping() complication ]
