Andrew Boie 2d9bbdf5f3 x86: remove support for non-PAE page tables
PAE tables introduce the NX bit which is very desirable
from a security perspetive, back in 1995.

PAE tables are larger, but we are not targeting x86 memory
protection for RAM constrained devices.

Remove the old style 32-bit tables to make the x86 port
easier to maintain.

Renamed some verbosely named data structures, and fixed
incorrect number of entries for the page directory
pointer table.

Title: x86 boot time page table validation

Description:

This test is for x86 to validate boot time page table faults.
Testcase outputs to console, for corresponding result, on validating
boot page table.

The checks are for param of the interested memory region
that are value->p, value->us and value->rw. These are permissoin associated
with the interested memory regions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Build and Run:

This testcase will output to console.  It can be built and executed
on QEMU as follows:

    mkdir build && cd build
    cmake -DBOARD=qemu_x86 ..
    make run

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troubleshooting/Problem Solving:

Issues will occur if the object files and other related files generated from
previous build are not discarded. In that scenario below step can be followed

   make pristine	# remove old outdir directory
			# discard results/files generated from previous build

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sample Output:

Running test suite boot_page_table_validate
===================================================================
starting test - test_boot_page_table
PASS - test_boot_page_table.
