x86: use 2M superpages for text/data/bss mappings

This balloons the size of Xen in memory from 4.4MB to 8MB, because of the
required alignment adjustments.

However
 * All mappings are 2M superpages.
 * .text (and .init at boot) are the only sections marked executable.
 * .text and .rodata are marked read-only.
