x86, pageattr: introduce APIs to change pageattr of a page array

Add array interface APIs of pageattr. page based cache flush is quite
slow for a lot of pages. If pages are more than 1024 (4M), the patch
will use a wbinvd(). We have a simple test here (run a 3d game - open
arena), nearly all agp memory allocation are small (< 1M), so suppose
this will not impact runtime performance.
