x86_64: Quicklist support for x86_64

This adds caching of pgds and puds, pmds, pte.  That way we can avoid costly
zeroing and initialization of special mappings in the pgd.

A second quicklist is useful to separate out PGD handling.  We can carry the
initialized pgds over to the next process needing them.

Also clean up the pgd_list handling to use regular list macros.  There is no
need anymore to avoid the lru field.

Move the add/removal of the pgds to the pgdlist into the constructor /
destructor.  That way the implementation is congruent with i386.
