4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shute...@linux.intel.com>
commit 08529078d8d9adf689bf39cc38d53979a0869970 upstream.
Prerequisite for fixing the current problem of instantaneous reboots when a
5-level paging kernel is booted on 4-level paging hardware.
At the same time this change prepares the decompression code to boot-time
switching between 4- and 5-level paging.
[ tglx: Folded the GCC < 5 fix. ]
Fixes: 77ef56e4f0fb ("x86: Enable 5-level paging support via
CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y")
