x86: Support EFI runtime services.

This creates a special pmap, efi_runtime_pmap, which avoids setting
PTE_U but allows mappings to lie in what would normally be user VM --
this way we don't fall afoul of SMAP/SMEP when executing EFI runtime
services from CPL 0. SVS does not apply to the EFI runtime pmap.

The mechanism is intended to work with either physical addressing or
virtual addressing; currently the bootloader does physical addressing
but in principle it could be modified to do virtual addressing
instead, if it allocated virtual pages, assigned them in the memory
map, and issued RT->SetVirtualAddressMap.

Not sure pmap_activate_sync and pmap_deactivate_sync are correct,
need more review from an x86 wizard.

If this causes fallout, it can be disabled temporarily without
reverting anything by just making efi_runtime_init return immediately
without doing anything, or by removing options EFI_RUNTIME.

amd64-only for now pending type fixes and testing on i386.
