From: Dave Hansen dave.hansen@linux.intel.com
commit cb0a9144a744e55207e24dcef812f05cd15a499a upstream.
First, it's nice to remove the magic numbers.
Second, PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION is going to consume half of the available ASID space. The space is currently unused, but add a comment to spell out this new restriction.
