[x86_64] Question about early page tables initialization

[Alex Kuleshov]

Hello All,

I have a question about page tables initialization in the
arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.S

After we clear memory for page tables, there is code which
build PML4:

	leal	pgtable + 0(%ebx), %edi
	leal	0x1007(%edi), %eax      
	movl	%eax, 0(%edi)
        
Why there is offset 0x1007 instead just 0x7? 0x1007 is
4k + 7bit (PML4E) flags as i understand correctly. But
why we skip first 4k here?

Thank you.
