[PATCH 1/2] Report the pagesize backing a VMA in /proc/pid/smaps

[Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie>]

It is useful to verify a hugepage-aware application is using the expected
pagesizes for its memory regions. This patch creates an entry called
KernelPageSize in /proc/pid/smaps that is the size of page used by the
kernel to back a VMA. The entry is not called PageSize as it is possible
the MMU uses a different size. This extension should not break any sensible
parser that skips lines containing unrecognised information.
