[PATCH 8/8] Add VM counters for transparent hugepages

[Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

I found it difficult to make sense of transparent huge pages without
having any counters for its actions. Add some counters to vmstat
for allocation of transparent hugepages and fallback to smaller
pages.

Optional patch, but useful for development and understanding the system.
