SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] kvm: Use huge pages for DAX-backed files

For testing, I used the following patch. It's not 100%, since it
intercepts at kvm_is_reserved_pfn(), and not PageReserved() directly.
The only difference is with kvm_set_pfn_dirty() I think.

I also have a nasty module that would dump the EPT's and the host page
table's mappings so I could confirm that the huge pages are being mapped
correctly.
