Now vtop can not show us the page is zero pfn
when PTE or PMD has attached ZERO PAGE. This
patch supports show this information directly
when using vtop, likes:

crash> vtop -c 13674 ffff8917e000
VIRTUAL     PHYSICAL
ffff8917e000  836e71000

PAGE DIRECTORY: ffff000802f8d000
   PGD: ffff000802f8dff8 => 884e29003
   PUD: ffff000844e29ff0 => 884e93003
   PMD: ffff000844e93240 => 840413003
   PTE: ffff000800413bf0 => 160000836e71fc3
  PAGE: 836e71000  (ZERO PAGE)
...

If huge page found:

crash> vtop -c 14538 ffff95800000
VIRTUAL     PHYSICAL
ffff95800000  910c00000

PAGE DIRECTORY: ffff000801fa0000
   PGD: ffff000801fa0ff8 => 884f53003

   PMD: ffff0008026cb560 => 60000910c00fc1
  PAGE: 910c00000  (2MB, ZERO PAGE)
...


I did some tests on x86 64 and aarch64 machines, and got the following results.

[1] on x86 64, it does not print the "ZERO PAGE" when using 1G huge pages. (but for 2M huge page, it works)

[2] on aarch64, it does not print the "ZERO PAGE"

I have one question:  can this patch print "ZERO PAGE" on x86 64 when using 1G huge pages? Or is it expected behavior on x86 64?

And It does not work on aarch64 machine to me. Did I miss anything else?

Thanks
Lianbo
