Don't rely on kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) returning PAGE_SIZE aligned memory[...]
(Xen requires GDT *and* LDT to be page-aligned). Using the page
allocator interface also removes the (albeit small) slab allocator
overhead. The same change being done for 64-bits for consistency.
Further, the Xen hypercall interface expects the LDT address to be
virtual, not machine.
