Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/4] x86: Add the new CPUID and CR4 bits for 5 level page table

Define the related bits for the 5 level page table, which supports
57 bits width virtual address space. This patch maybe included in
Kirill's patch set which enables 5 level page table for x86,
because 5 level EPT doesn't depend on 5 level page table, we put
it here for independence.
