Subject: [PATCH v8 1/4] x86/KASLR: Clarify identity map interface
This extracts the call to prepare_level4() into a top-level function
that the user of the pagetable.c interface must call to initialize
the new page tables. For clarity and to match the "finalize" function,
it has been renamed to initialize_identity_maps(). This function also
gains the initialization of mapping_info so we don't have to do it each
time in add_identity_map().
Additionally add copyright notice to the top, to make it clear that the
bulk of the pagetable.c code was written by Yinghai, and that I just
added bugs later. :)
