  x86/mm/ident_map: Use gbpages only where full GB page should be mapped. (2024-02-12 14:53:42 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Use a GB page for identity mapping only when memory of this size is
  requested so that mapping of reserved regions is prevented which would
  otherwise lead to system crashes on UV machines
