All comments addressed now hopefully.

CPA: Add statistics about state of direct mapping v4

Add information about the mapping state of the direct mapping to 
/proc/meminfo. I chose /proc/meminfo because that is where all the other
memory statistics are too and it is a generally useful metric even
outside debugging situations. A lot of split kernel pages means the 
kernel will run slower.

This way we can see how many large pages are really used for it and how
many are split.

Useful for general insight into the kernel.

v2: Add hotplug locking to 64bit to plug a very obscure theoretical race. 
    32bit doesn't need it because it doesn't support hotadd for lowmem.
    Fix some typos
v3: Rename dpages_cnt
    Add CONFIG ifdef for count update as requested by tglx
    Expand description
v4: Fix stupid bugs added in v3
    Move update_page_count to pageattr.c
