Subject: [PATCH v3 02/22] mm/mshare: pre-populate msharefs with information file

From: Khalid Aziz <khalid@...nel.org>

Users of mshare need to know the size and alignment requirement
for shared regions. Pre-populate msharefs with a file, mshare_info,
that provides this information. For now, pagetable sharing is
hardcoded to be at the PUD level.
