This series fixes two issues in the x86 ioremap free page handlings for pud/pmd mappings.
Patch 01 fixes BUG_ON on x86-PAE reported by Joerg. It disables the free page handling on x86-PAE.
Patch 02-03 fixes a possible issue with speculation which can cause stale page-directory cache. - Patch 02 is from Chintan's v9 01/04 patch [1], which adds a new arg 'addr', with my merge change to patch 01. - Patch 03 adds a TLB purge (INVLPG) to purge page-structure caches that may be cached by speculation. See the patch descriptions for more detal.
The patches are based off from the tip tree.

v4: - Re-wrote patch 2/3 description. (v3-UPDATE) - Added NOTE to pud_free_pmd_page().
v3: - Fixed a build error in v2.
v2: - Reordered patch-set, so that patch 01 can be applied independently. - Added a NULL pointer check for the page alloc in patch 03.
