[PATCH] target/i386: Fix legacy page table walk

[Alexander Graf <graf@amazon.com>]

Commit b56617bbcb4 ("target/i386: Walk NPT in guest real mode") added
logic to run the page table walker even in real mode if we are in NPT
mode.  That function then determined whether real mode or paging is
active based on whether the pg_mode variable was 0.

Unfortunately pg_mode is 0 in two situations:

  1) Paging is disabled (real mode)
  2) Paging is in 2-level paging mode (32bit without PAE)

That means the walker now assumed that 2-level paging mode was real
mode, breaking NetBSD as well as Windows XP.

To fix that, this patch adds a new PG flag to pg_mode which indicates
whether paging is active at all and uses that to determine whether we
are in real mode or not.
