This is the last batch of patches that enable boot-time switching
between paging modes.

The first patch allows two more Xen modes to be enabled with
CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y. These modes don't support 5-level paging,
but we can use them when boot into 4-level paging mode.

The last two patches optimize switching between paging modes by
using code pathching in all hot paths.

Please review and cosider applying.

  x86/xen: Allow XEN_PV and XEN_PVH to be enabled with X86_5LEVEL
  x86/mm: Redefine some of page table helpers as macros
  x86/mm: Offset boot-time paging mode switching cost
