The idea is to have a unique name space for new subsystem of page
tables that are used between kernels:
between stage 1 and stage 2 kexec kernel, and similarly between
kernels during hibernate boot process.

I picked: "trans_table" that stands for transitional page table:
meaning they are used only during transition between worlds.

All public functions in this subsystem will have trans_table_* prefix,
and page directory will be named: "trans_table". If this is confusing,
I can either use a different prefix, or describe what "trans_table"
stand for in trans_table.h/.c
