Xunlei Pang 8638100c52 x86/kexec/64: Use gbpages for identity mappings if available
Kexec sets up all identity mappings before booting into the new
kernel, and this will cause extra memory consumption for paging
structures which is quite considerable on modern machines with
huge memory sizes.

E.g. on a 32TB machine that is kdumping, it could waste around
128MB (around 4MB/TB) from the reserved memory after kexec sets
all the identity mappings using the current 2MB page.

Add to that the memory needed for the loaded kdump kernel, initramfs,
etc., and it causes a kexec syscall -NOMEM failure.

As a result, we had to enlarge reserved memory via "crashkernel=X"
to work around this problem.

This causes some trouble for distributions that use policies
to evaluate the proper "crashkernel=X" value for users.

So enable gbpages for kexec mappings.
