modifying the kernel pdp (CPU0PDP) hangs vmware. so
we initialize the pdp with KZERO and KZERO+1GB map
in l.s and never change it. (except when removing
the zero double map which seems to work).
VMAP has its own pdp now allowing to map 512GB of
physical address space. this simplifies the code
a bit and gives nice virtual addresses.
on intel processors, a general protection exception is fired if a non-canonical address is loaded into PC during SYSRET. this will cause the kernel to panic.
see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/649219 and the intel software developer manual for more information.
we have to keep kmap page tables in ther own list
because user tables are subject to (virtual) tlb flushing.
we never free kmap page tables except in mmurelease()
where we just link the kmap mmu list in front of the user
mmus and call mmufree() which will free all the mmu's
of the process.
