In preparation for adding hugepage support, replace "pageMapL4Entry", "pageDirectoryPointerEntry", and "pageDirectoryEntry" with a common "pageUpperEntry", and add a helper to create an upper level entry. All upper level entries have the same layout, using unique structs provides minimal value and requires a non-trivial amount of code duplication. No functional change intended.

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.
