The current kernel_ident_mapping_init() creates the identity
mapping always using 2MB page(PMD level), this patch adds the
1GB page(PUD level) support.

The primary advantage would be better TLB coverage/performance,
because we'd utilize 1GB TLBs instead of 2MB ones.

It is also useful for machines with large number of memory to
save paging structure allocations(around 4MB/TB using 2MB page)
when setting identity mappings for all the memory, after using
1GB page it will consume only 8KB/TB.
