Context switches and TLB flushes can change individual bits of CR4.
CR4 reads take several cycles, so store a shadow copy of CR4 in a
per-cpu variable.
To avoid wasting a cache line, I added the CR4 shadow to
cpu_tlbstate, which is already touched in switch_mm. The heaviest
users of the cr4 shadow will be switch_mm and __switch_to_xtra, and
__switch_to_xtra is called shortly after switch_mm during context
switch, so the cacheline is likely to be hot.

The pointer arithmetic in this function was really bizarre, where in
fact all we really wanted was a simple pointer array walk. Use the
much more idiomatic construction for that (*ptr++).
Factor an invariant use of __pa() out of the relocation loop. At
least on 64 bits it seems gcc isn't capable of doing that
automatically.
Change the scope of a couple of variables to make it extra obvious
that they are extremely local temp variables.

After we switch to use #PF handler help to set page table, init_level4_pgt
will only have entries set after init_mem_mapping().
We need to move copying init_level4_pgt to trampoline_pgd after that.
So split reserve and setup, and move the setup after init_mem_mapping()

with #PF handler way to set early page table, level3_ident will go away with
64bit native path.
So just use entries in init_level4_pgt to set them in trampoline_pgd.

Trampoline code is executed by APs with kernel low mapping on 64bit.
We need to set trampoline code to EXEC early before we boot APs.
Found the problem after switching to #PF handler set page table,
and we do not set initial kernel low mapping with EXEC anymore in
arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S.
Change to use early_initcall instead that will make sure trampoline
will have EXEC set.

When I made an attempt at separating __pa_symbol and __pa I found that there
were a number of cases where __pa was used on an obvious symbol.
I also caught one non-obvious case as _brk_start and _brk_end are based on the
address of __brk_base which is a C visible symbol.
In mark_rodata_ro I was able to reduce the overhead of kernel symbol to
virtual memory translation by using a combination of __va(__pa_symbol())
instead of page_address(virt_to_page()).

Change EFER to be a single u64 field instead of two u32 fields; change
the order to maintain alignment. Note that on x86-64 cr4 is really
also a 64-bit quantity, although we can only set the low 32 bits from
the trampoline code since it is still executing in 32-bit mode at that
point.
