From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>
Assigning the 5-level paging related global variables from the earliest
C code using explicit references that use the 1:1 translation of memory
is unnecessary, as the startup code itself does not rely on them to
create the initial page tables, and this is all it should be doing. So
defer these assignments to the primary C entry code that executes via
the ordinary kernel virtual mapping.
