The later verions of the KAISER pathces (pre-PTI) allowed the user/kernel
shared areas to be GLOBAL.  The thought was that this would reduce the
TLB overhead of keeping two copies of these mappings.

During the switch over to PTI, we seem to have lost our ability to have
GLOBAL mappings.  This adds them back.
