Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Page allocation hooks for VMI backend
The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow
page tables. The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky.
We need to clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under
the pgd lock to correctly copy the shadow.
We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology)
as they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor,
which makes shadowing them rather simple.
For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook
point we need. Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page,
and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool.
Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also
uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created
or released.
