After merging the tip tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig)
produced this warning:

arch/x86/mm/init_64.c: In function 'kernel_physical_mapping_init':
arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:601: warning: 'addr' may be used uninitialized in this function

The code does look suspicious ... 'addr' gets declared and then passed to
a function, but is not set anywhere ...
Forgot to say:

Introduced by commit 9b861528a8012e7bc4d1f7bae07395b225331477 ("x86-64,
mem: Update all PGDs for direct mapping and vmemmap mapping changes").


The original patch has the following line, however get lost some time
later:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg08152.html

===
x86, mm: fix uninitialized addr in kernel_physical_mapping_init()

This re-adds the lost chunk in commit 9b861528a80.
