Ok, looks pretty neat now.

Can I apply them in this order cleanly, without breaking bisection:

?

I.e. I'd like to move the first patch last.

The reason is that we should first get all quirks and assumptions fixed, all
facilities implemented - and only then enable 5-level paging as a final step which
produces a well working kernel.

(This should also make it slightly easier to analyze any potential regressions in
earlier patches.)

Thanks,

Ingo
