The kernel needs to have a way to access encrypted memory. We have two
option on how approach it:

 - Create temporary mappings every time kernel needs access to encrypted
   memory. That's basically brings highmem and its overhead back.

 - Create multiple direct mappings, one per-KeyID. In this setup we
   don't need to create temporary mappings on the fly -- encrypted
   memory is permanently available in kernel address space.

We take the second approach as it has lower overhead.

It's worth noting that with per-KeyID direct mappings compromised kernel
would give access to decrypted data right away without additional tricks
to get memory mapped with the correct KeyID.

Per-KeyID mappings require a lot more virtual address space. On 4-level
machine with 64 KeyIDs we max out 46-bit virtual address space dedicated
for direct mapping with 1TiB of RAM. Given that we round up any
calculation on direct mapping size to 1TiB, we effectively claim all
46-bit address space for direct mapping on such machine regardless of
RAM size.

Increased usage of virtual address space has implications for KASLR:
we have less space for randomization. With 64 TiB claimed for direct
mapping with 4-level we left with 27 TiB of entropy to place
page_offset_base, vmalloc_base and vmemmap_base.

5-level paging provides much wider virtual address space and KASLR
doesn't suffer significantly from per-KeyID direct mappings.

It's preferred to run MKTME with 5-level paging.

A direct mapping for each KeyID will be put next to each other in the
virtual address space. We need to have a way to find boundaries of
direct mapping for particular KeyID.

The new variable direct_mapping_size specifies the size of direct
mapping. With the value, it's trivial to find direct mapping for
KeyID-N: PAGE_OFFSET + N * direct_mapping_size.

Size of direct mapping is calculated during KASLR setup. If KALSR is
disabled it happens during MKTME initialization.

Why not make this a config dependency then?
