Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] mm: Introduce a new Vmemmap page-type

This patch introduces a new Vmemmap page-type.

It also introduces some functions to ease the handling of vmemmap pages:

- vmemmap_nr_sections: Returns the number of sections that used vmemmap.

- vmemmap_nr_pages: Allows us to retrieve the amount of vmemmap pages
  derivated from any vmemmap-page in the section. Useful for accounting
  and to know how much to we have to skip in the case where vmemmap pages
  need to be ignored.

- vmemmap_head: Returns the vmemmap head page

- SetPageVmemmap: Sets Reserved flag bit, and sets page->type to Vmemmap.
  Setting the Reserved flag bit is just for extra protection, actually
  we do not expect anyone to use these pages for anything.

- ClearPageVmemmap: Clears Reserved flag bit and page->type.
  Only used when sections containing vmemmap pages are removed.

These functions will be used for the code handling Vmemmap pages.
