    x86/boot: Simplify pagetable manipulation loops
    
    For __page_tables_{start,end} and L3 bootmap initialisation, the logic is
    unnecesserily complicated owing to its attempt to use the LOOP instruction,
    which results in an off-by-8 memory address owing to LOOP's termination
    condition.
    
    Rewrite both loops for improved clarity and speed.
    
    Misc notes:
     * TEST $IMM, MEM can't macrofuse.  The loop has 0x1200 iterations, so pull
       the $_PAGE_PRESENT constant out into a spare register to turn the TEST 
into
       its %REG, MEM form, which can macrofuse.
     * Avoid the use of %fs-relative references.  %esi-relative is the more 
common
       form in the code, and doesn't suffer an address generation overhead.
     * Avoid LOOP.  CMP/JB isn't microcoded and faster to execute in all cases.
     * For a 4 interation trivial loop, even compilers unroll these.  The
       generated code size is a fraction larger, but this is init and the asm is
       far easier to follow.
     * Reposition the l2=>l1 bootmap construction so the asm reads in pagetable
       level order.
    
    No functional change.
