Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Report the pagesize backing a VMA in /proc/pid/smaps

It is useful to verify a hugepage-aware application is using the expected
pagesizes for its memory regions. This patch creates an entry called
KernelPageSize in /proc/pid/smaps that is the size of page used by the kernel
to back a VMA. The entry is not called PageSize as it is possible the MMU
uses a different size. This extension should not break any sensible parser
that skips lines containing unrecognised information.
