Peter, can you check that branch again?
I moved the early_trap_init after init_mem_mapping.
so for 64bit native, init_mem_mapping will setup page table for ram from blank.
Looks better, at first glance at least. There are a couple of
unnecessary changes (the counter in head_64.S cannot exceed 32 bits once
computed, so the change from %rcx to %ecx change is pointless.)
There is another bug in my patch: it either needs to mask off the NX bit
if we are running on non-NX-enabled hardware, or it needs to not set the
NX bit (which is mostly okay that early on, I suspect.)
