2022-04-25	cpu/x86/64bit: Generate static page tables from an assembly file	Arthur Heymans
	This removes the need for a tool to generate simple identity pages. Future patches will link this page table directly into the stages on some platforms so having an assembly file makes a lot of sense. This also optimizes the size of the page of each 4K page by placing the PDPE_table below the PDE.

2019-11-04	cpu/qemu-x86: Add x86_64 bootblock support	Patrick Rudolph
	Add support for x86_64 bootblock on qemu. Introduce a new approach to long mode support. The previous patch set generated page tables at runtime and placed them in heap. The new approach places the page tables in memory mapped ROM. Introduce a new tool called pgtblgen that creates x86 long mode compatible page tables and writes those to a file. The file is included into the CBFS and placed at a predefined offset. Add assembly code to load the page tables, based on a Kconfig symbol and enter long in bootblock. The code can be easily ported to real hardware bootblock. Tested on qemu q35.
