The current VFIO-on-POWER implementation supports only user mode
driven mapping, i.e. QEMU is sending requests to map/unmap pages.
However this approach is really slow, so we want to move that to KVM.
Since H_PUT_TCE can be extremely performance sensitive (especially with
network adapters where each packet needs to be mapped/unmapped) we chose
to implement that as a "fast" hypercall directly in "real
mode" (processor still in the guest context but MMU off).
To be able to do that, we need to provide some facilities to
access the struct page count within that real mode environment as things
like the sparsemem vmemmap mappings aren't accessible.
This adds an API to increment/decrement page counter as
get_user_pages API used for user mode mapping does not work
in the real mode.
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP and CONFIG_FLATMEM are supported.

Changes:
2013/07/10:
* adjusted comment (removed sentence about virtual mode)
* get_page_unless_zero replaced with atomic_inc_not_zero to minimize
effect of a possible get_page_unless_zero() rework (if it ever happens).
2013/06/27:
* realmode_get_page() fixed to use get_page_unless_zero(). If failed,
the call will be passed from real to virtual mode and safely handled.
* added comment to PageCompound() in include/linux/page-flags.h.
2013/05/20:
* PageTail() is replaced by PageCompound() in order to have the same checks
for whether the page is huge in realmode_get_page() and realmode_put_page()
