KVM: MMU: large page support
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Create large pages mappings if the guest PTE's are marked as such and
the underlying memory is hugetlbfs backed.  If the largepage contains
write-protected pages, a large pte is not used.

Gives a consistent 2% improvement for data copies on ram mounted
filesystem, without NPT/EPT.

Anthony measures a 4% improvement on 4-way kernbench, with NPT.
