ARM: add support to dump the kernel page tables

This is very similar to x86.  I'm just throwing the patch out if people
wish to use this to look at things; I'm going to be working on merging
it with the x86 version, and hopefully we can have the bulk of this
support provided in a generic way such that architectures just need to
define some bitfield data, macros and region data.

ARM: add support to dump the kernel page tables

This patch allows the kernel page tables to be dumped via a debugfs file,
allowing kernel developers to check the layout of the kernel page tables
and the verify the various permissions and type settings.
