x86, cpa: make the kernel physical mapping initialization a two pass …
…sequence In the first pass, kernel physical mapping will be setup using large or small pages but uses the same PTE attributes as that of the early PTE attributes setup by early boot code in head_[32|64].S After flushing TLB's, we go through the second pass, which setups the direct mapped PTE's with the appropriate attributes (like NX, GLOBAL etc) which are runtime detectable. This two pass mechanism conforms to the TLB app note which says: "Software should not write to a paging-structure entry in a way that would change, for any linear address, both the page size and either the page frame or attributes."
