From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
Subject: x86/page: Introduce _PAGE_* constants for memory types

... rather than opencoding the PAT/PCD/PWT attributes in __PAGE_HYPERVISOR_*
constants.  These are going to be needed by forthcoming logic.

No functional change.

This is part of XSA-402.
