Subject: [PATCH v6 01/12] thp: huge zero page: basic preparation

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>

Huge zero page (hzp) is a non-movable huge page (2M on x86-64) filled
with zeros.

For now let's allocate the page on hugepage_init(). We'll switch to lazy
allocation later.

We are not going to map the huge zero page until we can handle it
properly on all code paths.

is_huge_zero_{pfn,pmd}() functions will be used by following patches to
check whether the pfn/pmd is huge zero page.
