Mostly this commit is just unshouting X86_CR3_PCID_KERN_VAR and X86_CR3_PCID_USER_VAR: we usually name variables in lower-case. But why does x86_cr3_pcid_noflush need to be __aligned(PAGE_SIZE)? Ah, it's a leftover from when kaiser_add_user_map() once complained about mapping the same page twice. Make it __read_mostly instead. (I'm a little uneasy about all the unrelated data which shares its page getting user-mapped too, but that was so before, and not a big deal: though we call it user-mapped, it's not mapped with _PAGE_USER.) And there is a little change around the two calls to do_nmi(). Previously they set the NOFLUSH bit (if PCID supported) when forcing to kernel context before do_nmi(); now they also have the NOFLUSH bit set (if PCID supported) when restoring context after: nothing done in do_nmi() should require a TLB to be flushed here.
