This series fixes two issues in the x86 ioremap free page handlings
for pud/pmd mappings.
Patch 01 fixes BUG_ON on x86-PAE reported by Joerg. It disables
the free page handling on x86-PAE.
Patch 02-03 fixes a possible issue with speculation which can cause
stale page-directory cache.
- Patch 02 is from Chintan's v9 01/04 patch [1], which adds a new arg
'addr', with my merge change to patch 01.
- Patch 03 adds a TLB purge (INVLPG) to purge page-structure caches
that may be cached by speculation. See the patch descriptions for
more detal.

v3:
- Fixed a build error in v2.
v2:
- Reordered patch-set, so that patch 01 can be applied independently.
- Added a NULL pointer check for the page alloc in patch 03.
