When the pgd size is smaller than PAGE_SIZE, pgd_alloc() uses kzalloc()
to save space. However, this is not always naturally aligned as required
by the architecture. This patch creates a kmem_cache for pgd allocations
with the correct alignment.
The current kernel configurations with 4K pages + 39-bit VA and 64K
pages + 42-bit VA use a full page for the pgd and are not affected. The
patch is required for 48-bit VA with 64K pages where the pgd is 512
bytes.

Currently pgd_alloc has a redundant NULL check in its return path that
can be removed with no ill effects. With that removed it's also possible
to return early and eliminate the new_pgd temporary variable.
This patch applies said modifications, making the logic of pgd_alloc
correspond 1-1 with that of pgd_free.

This patch adds support for the handling of the MMU faults (exception
entry code introduced by a previous patch) and page table management.
The user translation table is pointed to by TTBR0 and the kernel one
(swapper_pg_dir) by TTBR1. There is no translation information shared or
address space overlapping between user and kernel page tables.
