[ARM] mm 3: separate out supersection mappings, avoid for <4GB

Catalin Marinas at ARM Ltd says:

Therefore, we should avoid using supersections unless there's a real
need (iow, we're mapping addresses >= 4GB).

This means that we can simplify create_mapping() a bit since we will
only use supersection mappings for addresses >= 4GB, which means that
the physical, virtual and length must be multiples of the supersection
mapping size.
