This small series adds support for Transparent Huge Pages and hugetlbfs
pages for KVM on the arm and arm64 architectures.

Measurements have shown that using huge pages in for stage-2 mappings
provides up to more than 15% performance increase for some workloads.

The patch series applies to kvm/next, but depends on the patch sent
earlier:

The whole thing can also be cloned from here:
git://git.linaro.org/people/cdall/linux-kvm-arm.git kvm-arm-hugepages-v2

See the patches for changelogs.
