Description

MI VM: Make it possible to set size of superpage at boot instead of compile time.

In order to allow single kernel to use PAE pagetables on i386 if
hardware supports it, and fall back to classic two-level paging
structures if not, superpage code should be able to adopt to either 2M
or 4M superpages size. There I make MI VM structures large enough to
track the biggest possible superpage, by allowing architecture to
define VM_NFREEORDER_MAX and VM_LEVEL_0_ORDER_MAX constants.
Corresponding VM_NFREEORDER and VM_LEVEL_0_ORDER symbols can be
defined as runtime values and must be less than the _MAX constants.
If architecture does not define _MAXs, it is assumed that _MAX ==
normal constant.
