Adjust the coding style used in the comments within create_pages_tables()

Lastly, document the behavior and the main registers usage within the
function. Note that x25 is now only used within the function, so it does
not need to be part of the common register.

Is x20 actually used?

Yes via the macro load_paddr.


The rest looks fine.
