Re: [BUG] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1 at mm/debug_vm_pgtable.c:493

[Linus Torvalds]

Adding x86 people (VM in particular). The tests were written primarily
for ARM, but should work on x86 too.

That warning seems to be due to pud_set_huge() failing (the "line 438"
one I don't know what it is - there's no warning on that line in my
tree, so I worry a bit that Steven has other things in his tree).

On x86, that can fail due to mtrr differences, or if there's already
an entry there. Neither _should_ be an issue during the boot-time
tests, but who knows..

Or there's something wrong with the tests. The fact that it's not
repeatable despite being a boot-time thing is a bit odd.
