arch: Create a method to finalize physical addresses

 in the TLB

Some architectures (currently only x86) require some fixing-up of
physical addresses after a normal address translation. This is usually
to remap devices such as the APIC, but could be used for other memory
mapped devices as well. When running the CPU in a using hardware
virtualization, we still need to do these address fix-ups before
inserting the request into the memory system. This patch moves this
patch allows that code to be used by such CPUs without doing full
address translations.
