** Description changed:

  SRU Justification
  
  [ Impact ]
  
  * Microsoft request to fix long boot times on arm64 VMs with 96 cores.
  
  [ Fix ]
  
  * Clean cherry-pick of the following patches from upstream:
  * 5c63db59c5f8: "arm64: mm: Don't remap pgtables per-cont(pte|pmd) block"
  * 1fcb7cea8a5f: "arm64: mm: Batch dsb and isb when populating pgtables"
  * 0e9df1c905d8: "arm64: mm: Don't remap pgtables for allocate vs populat"
  
  [ Test Plan ]
  
  * Compile tested
  * Microsoft to test further
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
- *
+ * Changes made to memory-management, which could have impacts across the 
memory subsystems.
+ * Backport involved stripping out portions of 5-level paging, which was 
missing prerequisite
+   commits. This has been validated, but if logic was not well-separated in 
the upstream commits,
+   the changes for present paging might have some reliance on the 5-level 
paging changes.

  * SF#00412644
