Fix up various pieces of unconventional formatting in
asm-x86/pgtable*.h. In some cases, the old formatting was arguablly
clearer with a wide enough terminal, but this patch gives the option
of using a more standard form.

All x86 modes and architectures have very similar pagetable
structures: the page flags, the accessors for testing/setting them,
and the combinations of page flags used for kernel and usermode
mappings are all the same. The main difference is between 32 and
64-bit pagetable entries, with the
Unify common definitions in page*.h. To simplify other code, I added
typedefs for the value of pte/pmd/pud/pgd values, so they can be used
symbolically elsewhere without needing to have lots of 32/64/PAE
tests.
Also, add PAGETABLE_LEVELS define so that other definitions can test
for it directly
Some code reformatting in init_32.c. No functional change.

There apparently was an unnoticed conflict between an earlier patch to
