x86: paging code rewrite
The x86 paging code has been rewritten to support another paging mode
and non-identity virtual mappings.
- Paging code now uses an array of paging level characteristics and
walks tables using for loops. This is opposed to having different
functions for every paging level and lots of #ifdefs. The code is
now more concise and adding new paging modes should be trivial.
- We now support 32-bit, PAE, and IA-32e page tables.
- The page tables created by gen_mmu.py are now installed at early
boot. There are no longer separate "flat" page tables. These tables
are mutable at any time.
- The x86_mmu code now has a private header. Many definitions that did
not need to be in public scope have been moved out of mmustructs.h
and either placed in the C file or in the private header.
- Improvements to dumping page table information, with the physical
mapping and flags all shown
- arch_mem_map() implemented
- x86 userspace/memory domain code ported to use the new
infrastructure.
- add logic for physical -> virtual instruction pointer transition,
including cleaning up identity mappings after this takes place.
