      x86: kexec: Use one page table in x86_64 machine_kexec · f5deb796

      Impact: reduce kernel BSS size by 7 pages, improve code readability
      
      Two page tables are used in current x86_64 kexec implementation. One
      is used to jump from kernel virtual address to identity map address,
      the other is used to map all physical memory. In fact, on x86_64,
      there is no conflict between kernel virtual address space and physical
      memory space, so just one page table is sufficient. The page table
      pages used to map control page are dynamically allocated to save
      memory if kexec image is not loaded. ASM code used to map control page
      is replaced by C code too.
