Subject: [PATCHv2 02/10] x86/xen: Provide pre-built page tables only for XEN_PV and XEN_PVH

Looks like we only need pre-built page tables for XEN_PV and XEN_PVH
cases. Let's not provide them for other configuration.

This patch if preparation for boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level
paging. pgd_index() is going to depend on a variable and cannot be
easily used in head_64.S.
