2015-11-10Postcopy: Mark nohugepage before discardDr. David Alan Gilbert
Prior to servicing userfault requests we must ensure we've not got huge pages in the area that might include non-transferred memory, since a hugepage could incorrectly mark the whole huge page as present. We mark the area as non-huge page (nhp) just before we perform discards; the discard code now tells us to discard any areas that haven't been sent (as well as any that are redirtied); any already formed transparent-huge-pages get fragmented by this discard process if they cotnain any discards. Transparent huge pages that have been entirely transferred and don't contain any discards are not broken by this mechanism; they stay as huge pages. By starting postcopy after a full precopy pass, many of the pages then stay as huge pages; this is important for maintaining performance after the end of the migration.

Soon we'll be in either ACTIVE or POSTCOPY_ACTIVE when we complete migration, and we need to know which we expect to be in to change state safely.

Provide a check to see if the OS we're running on has all the bits needed for postcopy. Creates postcopy-ram.c which will get most of the other helpers we need.
