Introduce utility functions setting the foundation for ptdescs. These
will also assist in the splitting out of ptdesc from struct page.

ptdesc_alloc() is defined to allocate new ptdesc pages as compound
pages. This is to standardize ptdescs by allowing for one allocation
and one free function, in contrast to 2 allocation and 2 free functions.

Do we ever use compound pages for page tables?

Mips and s390 crst tables use multi-order (but not compound) pages.
The ptdesc api *should* change that, but until all the allocation/free paths
are changed it may cause problems.
Thanks for catching that, I'll change it in v3.

The ptdesc_{alloc,free} API does not sound right to me. The name
ptdesc_alloc() implies the allocation of the ptdesc itself, rather than
allocation of page table page. The same goes for free.

I'm not sure I see the difference. Could you elaborate?
