mb/emulation/qemu: Copy page tables to DRAM in assembly
To work around various bugs running KVM enabled, copy page tables to
DRAM in assembly before jumping to x86_64 mode.
Tested on QEMU using KVM, no more stange bugs happen:
Tested on host
- CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ
- Linux 5.9
- qemu 4.2.1
Used to crash on emulating MMX instructions and failed to translate
some addresses using the virtual MMU when running in long mode.
Tested on host
- CPU AMD EPYC 7401P 24-Core Processor
- Linux 5.4
- qemu 4.2.1
Used to crash on jumping to long mode.
