Hi Ingo,
Here's updated changes that prepare the code to boot-time switching between
paging modes and handle booting in 5-level mode when bootloader put kernel
image above 4G, but haven't enabled 5-level paging for us.
First two patches can be backported to v4.14 to provide sensible error
message when CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y kernel is booted on hardware that doesn't
support the feature.
Please review and consider applying.

x86/boot/compressed/64: Introduce place_trampoline()
