    kernel -- x86_64: Do not set reserved bits in CR3.
    
    The x86-64 platform code was setting PG_V, PG_U, and PG_RW bits in the
    CR3 register. While the bits were supposed to cleared, Intel and AMD
    hardware were ignoring them. Other x86-64 implementations, in
    particular the software emulator in Linux's KVM, do check that these
    reserved bits are zero.
    
    Fixes issue running DragonFly x86_64 on KVM hosts without
    two-dimensional (nested) paging.
    
    Tested on a variety of real hardware (AMD FX(tm)-8150, c2q 6600, others)
    and VM configurations (KVM on Intel/AMD hosts, Xen).
