    ksm: identify PageKsm pages · 9a840895

    KSM will need to identify its kernel merged pages unambiguously, and
    /proc/kpageflags will probably like to do so too.
    
    Since KSM will only be substituting anonymous pages, statistics are best
    preserved by making a PageKsm page a special PageAnon page: one with no
    anon_vma.
    
    But KSM then needs its own page_add_ksm_rmap() - keep it in ksm.h near
    PageKsm; and do_wp_page() must COW them, unlike singly mapped PageAnons.
