Add a set of accessors to pack, unpack and modify page table entries
(at all levels).  This allows a paravirt implementation to control the
contents of pgd/pmd/pte entries.  For example, Xen uses this to
convert the (pseudo-)physical address into a machine address when
populating a pagetable entry, and converting back to pphys address
when an entry is read.
