This patch allows passing of a "-mem-path <arg>"
flag to qemu for support of huge page backed
guests. A guest may request this option via
specifying:
<hugepage>on</hugepage>
in its domain definition xml file. The request
for huge page backing will be attempted within
libvirt if the host system has indicated a
hugetlbfs mount point in qemu.conf, for example:
hugepage_mount = "/hugetlbfs"
_and_ the target qemu executable is aware of
the "-mem-path" flag. Otherwise this request
by a guest will result in an error.
This patch does not address setup of the required
host hugetlbfs mount point, verifying the mount
point is correct/usable, nor assure sufficient
free huge pages are available; which are assumed
to be addressed by other means.
