We can use debug_pagealloc_enabled() to check if we can map
the identity mapping with 2MB pages. We can also add the state
into the dump_stack output.

The patch does not touch the code for the 1GB pages, which ignored
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. Do we need to fence this as well?

I would have thought free_init_pages() would be modified to use 
debug_pagealloc_enabled() as well?
