x86: 46 bit physical address support on 64 bits

Extend the maximum addressable memory on x86-64 from 2^44 to 2^46 bytes. This requires some shuffling around of the vmalloc and virtual memmap memory areas, to keep them away from the direct mapping of up to 64TB of physical memory. This patch also introduces a guard hole between the vmalloc area and the virtual memory map space. There's really no good reason why we wouldn't have a guard hole there.
