[PATCH 14/20] x86_64: Remove the identity mapping as early as possible

From: Vivek Goyal
Date: Wed Mar 07 2007 - 02:29:09 EST




With the rewrite of the SMP trampoline and the early page
allocator there is nothing that needs identity mapped pages,
once we start executing C code.

So add zap_identity_mappings into head64.c and remove
zap_low_mappings() from much later in the code. The functions
are subtly different thus the name change.

This also kills boot_level4_pgt which was from an earlier
attempt to move the identity mappings as early as possible,
and is now no longer needed. Essentially I have replaced
boot_level4_pgt with trampoline_level4_pgt in trampoline.S
