The big question here: Do we want to put purely architecture-specific
entries in (the currently quite arch-independent) /proc/meminfo?

The current "DirectMap4k/2M/1G" entries from arch_report_meminfo() are
arch-specific in their sizes, of course, but the concept is at least
quite arch-independent.
