Yeah, We could probably use the same symbol names for the trampoline and
the swapper page-table on 32 and 64 bit and merge the code that handles
it between the architectures. Shouldn't be too difficult. We cook
something up :-)
But do you mind to take this patch first? It fixes the occurence of an
erratum on AMD hardware, it is a quite simple fix compared to the rework
suggested. In fact, I would like to have a simple patch to fix the
problem first (and backport it as necessary) and then go the way to
rework the current code differences between 32 and 64 bit.
