This patch introduces a new Vmemmap page-type.
It also introduces some functions to ease the handling of vmemmap pages:
- vmemmap_nr_sections: Returns the number of sections that used vmemmap.
- vmemmap_nr_pages: Allows us to retrieve the amount of vmemmap pages
derivated from any vmemmap-page in the section. Useful for accounting
and to know how much to we have to skip in the case where vmemmap pages
need to be ignored.
- vmemmap_head: Returns the vmemmap head page
- SetPageVmemmap: Sets Reserved flag bit, and sets page->type to Vmemmap.
Setting the Reserved flag bit is just for extra protection, actually
we do not expect anyone to use these pages for anything.
- ClearPageVmemmap: Clears Reserved flag bit and page->type.
Only used when sections containing vmemmap pages are removed.
These functions will be used for the code handling Vmemmap pages.
