Subject: [PATCH kernel v4 5/7] mm: add the related functions to get unused page
Save the unused page info into a split page bitmap. The virtio
balloon driver will use this new API to get the unused page bitmap
and send the bitmap to hypervisor(QEMU) to speed up live migration.
During sending the bitmap, some the pages may be modified and are
no free anymore, this inaccuracy can be corrected by the dirty
page logging mechanism.
