Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/mm/ident_map: Add PUD level 1GB page support

The current kernel_ident_mapping_init() creates the identity
mapping using 2MB page(PMD level), this patch adds the 1GB
page(PUD level) support.

This is useful on large machines to save some reserved memory
(as paging structures) in the kdump case when kexec setups up
identity mappings before booting into the new kernel.

We will utilize this new support in the following patch.

v1->v2:
- Rename info.use_pud_page to info.direct_gbpages
- Align PUD_MASK before set_pud()
