[PATCH 13/13] maps#2: Add /proc/kpagemap interface

[Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>]

Add /proc/kpagemap interface

This makes physical page flags and counts available to userspace.
Together with /proc/pid/pagemap and /proc/pid/clear_refs, this can be
used to measure memory usage on a per-page basis.
