x86: add gbpages switches



These new controls toggle experimental support for a new CPU feature,
the straightforward extension of largepages from the pmd level to the
pud level, which allows 1GB (kernel) TLBs instead of 2MB TLBs.

Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet.

Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the
boot line can be used to enable it. If enabled in the .config then
nogbpages boot option disables it.
