SubjectRe: x86_64: potential critical issue with quicklists and page table pages

The quicklists have a long history and this bug has therefore also been in
IA64 for a long time and it also likely exists on sparc64, sh and sh64. We
need the patch that I posted to fix the other platforms. And with this fix
there would be nothing amiss on x86_64 either.
