Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/5] livedump: Add page splitting functionality
This patch adds function "wrprotect_split" to split all large pages in
kernel space into 4K pages. This patch also adds tools/livedump/livedump
to kick wrprotect_split via ioctl operation.
***ATTENTION PLEASE***
Right now, the livedump module can handle only 4K pages. Before setting up
write protection, it has to split all large pages into 4K pages.
I think this job (page splitting) can be eliminated in the future.
