Turns out that the problem with L1TF and NUMA balancing isn't the aliasing of
_PAGE_NUMA and _PAGE_PROTNONE but the following two issues:
1) 3.13 defines NUMA page table operations like pte_mknuma, pmd_mknuma and
such, that manipulate NUMA hinting PTEs. These need to be protected
against speculation just like the PROT_NONE PTEs, for example.
Fix that by adding x86 specific NUMA page table operations.
2) Commit "x86/speculation/l1tf: Protect PROT_NONE PTEs against speculation"
modified pud_pfn() and pmd_pfn() to do the PFN bits inversion using
pmd_pfn_mask() and pud_pfn_mask() helpers to only invert the relevant part
of the PUD/PMD. 3.13 doesn't have these masking helpers and the backport of
using PTE_PFN_MASK instead was incorrect.
Fix that by backporting the commits that introduce the mask helpers.
Compile tested all supported architectures. Ran stress and boot tests both
on a physical NUMA machine and a NUMA (and non-NUMA) VM.
Colin also ran some extended tests on real NUMA HW and reported no problems.
