Hugh Dickins d19f352484 ksm: define MADV_MERGEABLE and MADV_UNMERGEABLE
The out-of-tree KSM used ioctls on fds cloned from /dev/ksm to register a
memory area for merging: we prefer now to use an madvise(2) interface.

This patch just defines MADV_MERGEABLE (to tell KSM it may merge pages in
this area found identical to pages in other mergeable areas) and
MADV_UNMERGEABLE (to undo that).

Most architectures use asm-generic, but alpha, mips, parisc, xtensa need
their own definitions: included here for mmotm convenience, but we'll
probably want to split this and feed pieces to arch maintainers.

Based upon earlier patches by Chris Wright and Izik Eidus.
