    x86/mm: Do not auto-massage page protections · fb43d6cb

    A PTE is constructed from a physical address and a pgprotval_t.
    __PAGE_KERNEL, for instance, is a pgprot_t and must be converted
    into a pgprotval_t before it can be used to create a PTE.  This is
    done implicitly within functions like pfn_pte() by massage_pgprot().
    
    However, this makes it very challenging to set bits (and keep them
    set) if your bit is being filtered out by massage_pgprot().
    
    This moves the bit filtering out of pfn_pte() and friends.  For
    users of PAGE_KERNEL*, filtering will be done automatically inside
    those macros but for users of __PAGE_KERNEL*, they need to do their
    own filtering now.
    
    Note that we also just move pfn_pte/pmd/pud() over to check_pgprot()
    instead of massage_pgprot().  This way, we still *look* for
    unsupported bits and properly warn about them if we find them.  This
    might happen if an unfiltered __PAGE_KERNEL* value was passed in,
    for instance.
