This patch series adds checkpoint compression functionality, while
running under Remus.

Changes since last version:
1. Introduced a generic api page_aligned_alloc() for allocating page aligned buffers.
   Also provided platform specific implementations using memalign/valloc/posix_memalign
   in xc_{minios, linux, netbsd, solaris}.c
2. use the above generic api for allocating cache/page buffers in xc_compression.c.
   Also modified xc_{minios,linux,netbsd,solaris}.c : {os}_privcmd_alloc_hypercall_buffer
   to use page_aligned_alloc instead of allocating memory via memalign calls.
