x86: Make sure IDT is page aligned

Since the IDT is referenced from a fixmap, make sure it is page aligned.
Merge with 32-bit one, since it was already aligned to deal with F00F bug.
This avoids the risk of it ever being moved in the bss and having the
mapping be offset, resulting in calling incorrect handlers.

[ hpa: It isn't clear that this is a manifest bug in any way, but
tagging for -stable because it shouldn't hurt and might avoid some
very hard-to-debug breakages due to unrelated changes. ]
