MIPS: Add 48-bit VA space (and 4-level page tables) for 4K pages.
Some users must have 4K pages while needing a 48-bit VA space size.
The cleanest way do do this is to go to a 4-level page table for this
case. Each page table level using order-0 pages adds 9 bits to the
VA size (at 4K pages, so for four levels we get 9 * 4 + 12 == 48-bits.
For the 4K page size case only we add support functions for the PUD
level of the page table tree, also the TLB exception handlers get an
extra level of tree walk.
