Subject: [PATCH] [3/7] Add set_memory_4k to pageattr.c


Add a new function to force split large pages into 4k pages.
This is needed for some followup optimizations.

I had to add a new field to cpa_data to pass down the information
that try_preserve_large_page should not run.

Right now no set_page_4k() because I didn't need it and all the
specialized users I have in mind would be more comfortable with
pure addresses. I also didn't export it because it's unlikely
external code needs it.
