[PATCH 1/2] kvm/qemu: use statfs to determine size of huge pages

[Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@xxxxxxx>]

The current method of finding out the size of huge pages does not work
reliable anymore. Current Linux supports more than one huge page size
but /proc/meminfo only show one of the supported sizes.
To find out the real page size used can be found by calling statfs. This
patch changes kvm/qemu to use statfs instead of parsing /proc/meminfo.
