mainlining shenanigans

Since E0PD is intended to fulfil the same role as KPTI we don't need to use KPTI on CPUs where E0PD is available, we can rely on E0PD instead. Change the check that forces KPTI on when KASLR is enabled to check for E0PD before doing so, CPUs with E0PD are not expected to be affected by meltdown so should not need to enable KPTI for other reasons. Since E0PD is a system capability we will still enable KPTI if any of the CPUs in the system lacks E0PD, this will rewrite any global mappings that were established in systems where some but not all CPUs support E0PD. We may transiently have a mix of global and non-global mappings while booting since we use the local CPU when deciding if KPTI will be required prior to completing CPU enumeration but any global mappings will be converted to non-global ones when KPTI is applied. KPTI can still be forced on from the command line if required.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
