x86: do kernel direct mapping at boot using GB pages

The AMD Fam10h CPUs support new Gigabyte page table entry for
mapping 1GB at a time. Use this for the kernel direct mapping.

Only done for 64bit because i386 does not support GB page tables.

This only applies to the data portion of the direct mapping; the
kernel text mapping stays with 2MB pages because the AMD Fam10h
microarchitecture does not support GB ITLBs and AMD recommends
against using GB mappings for code.

Can be disabled with disable_gbpages on the kernel command line
