[RESEND PATCH v4 1/6] arm64/mm: Introduce the init_pg_dir.

From: Jun Yao
Date: Wed Aug 22 2018 - 05:54:49 EST


To make the swapper_pg_dir read only, we will move it to the rodata
section. And force the kernel to set up the initial page table in
the init_pg_dir. After generating all levels page table, we copy
only the top level into the swapper_pg_dir during paging_init().
