arm64: add support to dump the kernel page tables
In a similar manner to arm, it's useful to be able to dump the page tables to verify permissions and memory types. Add a debugfs file to check the page tables.

Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
|
||||
debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
|
||||
who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
|
||||
It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production
|
||||
kernel.

If in doubt, say "N"
