Subject: [RFC 05/10] mm: allocate/release physical pages for process-local memory

Implement second half of kmalloc and kfree for process-local memory,
which allocates physical pages, maps them into the kernel virtual
address space of the current process, and removes them from the kernel's
shared direct physical mapping. On kfree, the code performs that
sequence in reverse, after scrubbing the pages' contents.

Note that both the allocation and free path require TLB flushes, to
flush remaining mappings in the direct physical mappings (on allocation)
and in the process-local memory (on release). Aim to keep the impact of
these flushes minimal by flushing only necessary address ranges.

The allocation only handles the smallest page size (i.e., 4 KiB), no
huge pages, because in our use case, the size of individual allocations
is in the order of 4 KiB.
