First of all, I think "free" is a poor name for this value. In
this context, it means, "the number of mmu pages which this kvm
instance should be able to allocate." To me, "free" implies
much more that the objects are there and ready for use. I think
"available" is a much better description, especially when you
see how it is calculated.
In this patch, we abstract its use into a function. We'll soon
replace the function's contents by calculating the value in a
different way.
