Hmm, so AFAICT, only arch/x86/xen needs KERNEL_DATA and everything else
is BOOT_DATA.

So instead of touching so many files and changing early_memremap(),
why can't you remove _PAGE_ENC by default on x86 and define a specific
early_memremap() for arch/x86/xen/ which you call there?

That would make this patch soo much smaller and the change simpler.

Please integrate checkpatch.pl into your workflow so that you can catch
small style nits like this. And don't take its output too seriously... :-)
