cpu/x86: add limited runtime identity page mapping

When employing PAGING_IN_CACHE_AS_RAM more areas need to be
mapped in at runtime. Therefore, paging_identity_map_addr() is
added to support adding identity mappings. Because there are a
fixed amount of pages in cache-as-ram paging only the existing
paging structures can be used. As such that's a limitation on
what regions and length one can map. Using util/x86/x86_page_tables.go
to generate page tables will always populate all the page directory
pages. Therefore, 2MiB mappings are easy to map in.
