[Qemu-devel] [PULL 19/27] postcopy: Use temporary for placing zero huge pages

["Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)" <dgilbert@redhat.com>]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

The kernel can't do UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE for huge pages, so we have
to allocate a temporary (always zero) page and use UFFDIO_COPYPAGE
on it.
