amd64: create identity mapping of the first 8 GB of physical memory (instead of just 4 GB) during the bootstrap process
remove the crude on-demand identity mapping creation which could lead to livelocks (unmapping the page pointing to 0 MB physical while trying to map the page pointing to 4096 MB physical)

(currently the implementation is in no way closer to the ideal solution of ticket #3, but at least it allows to debug non-trivial cases of physical memory sizes > 4 GB during the approach to solving #3)
