DIRECT_GBPAGES was under DEBUG_KERNEL && EXPERIMENTAL and disabled by default.
Turn it on by default and put it under EMBEDDED.

help
Allow the kernel linear mapping to use 1GB pages on CPUs that
support it. This can improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit by
reducing TLB pressure. If in doubt, say "Y".

Enable gigabyte pages support (if the CPU supports it). This can
improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit by reducing TLB
pressure.

This is experimental code.
