Ahmed S. Darwish 543904cdfe x86/cpu: Use enums for TLB descriptor types
The leaf 0x2 one-byte TLB descriptor types:

	TLB_INST_4K
	TLB_INST_4M
	TLB_INST_2M_4M
	...

are just discriminators to be used within the intel_tlb_table[] mapping.
Their specific values are irrelevant.

Use enums for such types.

Make the enum packed and static assert that its values remain within a
single byte so that the intel_tlb_table[] size do not go out of hand.

Use a __CHECKER__ guard for the static_assert(sizeof(enum) == 1) line as
sparse ignores the __packed annotation on enums.

This is similar to:

  fe3944fb24 ("fs: Move enum rw_hint into a new header file")

for the core SCSI code.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
