From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

Linux-6.13 contains a few patches required as preparation for
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, there are three more left, out of which I have reworked
two slightly:

 - The jump-label patch from Thomas get a little more background
   information, and an improvement for non-SMP kernels

 - The HIGHPTE patch from Sebastian now has the reverse dependency,
   turning HIGHPTE off instead of PREEMPT_RT.

As Matthew Wilcox noted, we can probably remove HIGHPTE support entirely,
so I include two more patches for review here that do just that, with
linux-mm added to Cc.

The final RT patch for the entry path is not included here as I'm waiting
on some work from Linus Walleij. Hopefully it will no longer be needed
after then next version of his generic entry series, see
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241029-arm-generic-entry-v2-0-573519abef38@linaro.org/
