The asm version of the kernel mapping code works fine for creating a coarse grained identity map, but for mapping the kernel down to its exact boundaries with the right attributes, it is not suitable. This is why we create a preliminary RWX kernel mapping first, and then rebuild it from scratch later on. So let's reimplement this in C, in a way that will make it unnecessary to create the kernel page tables yet another time in paging_init().

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.
