Subject: [PATCH v2 05/13] x86, 64bit: add support for loading kernel above 512G

Current kernel is not allowed to be loaded above 512g, it thinks
that address is too big.

We only need to add one extra spare page for needed level3 to
point another 512g range.

Need to check _text range and set level4 pg to point to that spare
level3 page, and set level3 to point to level2 page to cover
[_text, _end] with extra mapping.

We need this to put relocatable bzImage high above 512g.
