[PATCH v2 2/3] x86/mm/64: Do not sync vmalloc/ioremap mappings

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Wed Jul 01 2020 - 04:38:47 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Remove the code to sync the vmalloc and ioremap ranges for x86-64. The
page-table pages are all pre-allocated now so that synchronizing the
top-level page happens at page-table creation.
