MMU issues are some of the most frustrating to debug. To make this
slightly less unbearable, introduce a software pagetable walker for
ARMv8. This can be called to dump a pagetable with the default
formatter, or a custom callback can be provided to implement more
complicated parsing.

This can also be useful to dump the pagetable used by a previous
bootloader stage (by reading out the ttbr register).

Here is an example of the output when walking U-Boot's own memory map
on a Qualcomm RB3 board:

Walking pagetable at 000000017df90000, va_bits: 36. Using 3 levels
