In order to prevent possible garbage collection and reuse of page table
pages prior to invalidation, introduce a former allocator abstraction
that can ensure entries are held during a single traversal. This also
cleans up the abstraction and splits it out of the machine itself.

This is necessary to prevent races with invalidation. It is currently
possible that page tables are garbage collected while paging caches
refer to them. We must ensure that pages are held until caches can be
invalidated. This is not achieved by this goal alone, but moving locking
to outside the page tables themselves is a requisite.

This is a refactor of ring0 and ring0/pagetables that changes from
individual arguments to opts structures. This should involve no
functional changes, but sets the stage for subsequent changes.
