[Ideally apply before the patch to enable gbpages direct mapping]
The gbpages direct patch assumed that __PAGE_KERNEL contains _PAGE_GLOBAL
(I think because that was true at some point in git-x86 and i forgot
to remove it again when forward porting)
This is currently true on 32bit, but not on 64bit which does not make much sense. Add it to 64bit too. Also get rid of the obsolete MAKE_GLOBAL.
Last time when my patch to do this was in the tree, it caused random things to fail, even after increasing the strength of various tlb flushes. Did you change something to fix this?
