[PATCH 1/2] x86/64: Make kernel text mapping always take one whole page table in early boot code

[Baoquan He]

In early boot code level2_kernel_pgt is used to map kernel text. And its
size varies according to KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE and fixed at compiling time.
In fact we can make it always takes 512 entries of one whople page table,
because later function cleanup_highmap will clean up the unused entries.
With the help of this change kernel text mapping size can be decided at
runtime later, 512M if kaslr is disabled, 1G if kaslr is enabled.
