This patch introduces 4-level page tables to ia64.  I have run
some benchmarks and found nothing interesting.  Performance has
consistently fallen within the noise range.

It also introduces a config option (setting the default to 3
levels).  The config option prevents having 4 level page
tables with 64k base page size.
