Add support for 5 level paging in the G-to-nG routine that creates its own temporary page tables to traverse the swapper page tables. Also add support for running the 5 level configuration with the top level folded at runtime, to support CPUs that do not implement the LPA2 extension. While at it, wire up the level skipping logic so it will also trigger on 4 level configurations with LPA2 enabled at build time but not active at runtime, as we'll fall back to 3 level paging in that case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
