[RFC,v2,22/43] x86/boot/compressed/64: use 1GB pages for mappings

Commit Message

pkram kaslr code can incur multiple page faults when it walks its
preserved ranges list called via mem_avoid_overlap().  The multiple
faults can easily end up using up the small number of pages available
to be allocated for page table pages.

This patch hacks things so that mappings are 1GB which results in the need
for far fewer page table pages.  As is this breaks AMD SEV-ES which expects
the mappings to be 2M.  This could possibly be fixed by updating split
code to split 1GB page if the aren't any other issues with using 1GB
mappings.
