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:
2013-05-20:
* 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()

Several worries here, mostly that if the generic code ever changes
(something gets added to get_page() that makes it no-longer safe for use
in real mode for example, or some other condition gets added to
put_page()), we go out of sync and potentially end up with very hard and
very subtle bugs.

It might be worth making sure that:

 - This is reviewed by some generic VM people (and make sure they
understand why we need to do that)

 - A comment is added to get_page() and put_page() to make sure that if
they are changed in any way, dbl check the impact on our
realmode_get_page() (or "ping" us to make sure things are still ok).

Cheers,
Ben.

Shouldn't it be get_page_unless_zero ?

Cheers,
Ben.
