This is a preparatory commit needed before we can use different kinds of backing pages for guest memory. Previously, we used perf_test_args.host_page_size, which is the host's native page size (commonly 4K). For VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS this turns out to be okay, but in a follow-up commit we want to allow using different kinds of backing memory. Take VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_HUGETLB for example. Without this change, if we used that backing page type, when we issued a UFFDIO_COPY ioctl we'd only do so with 4K, rather than the full 2M of a backing hugepage. In this case, UFFDIO_COPY returns -EINVAL (__mcopy_atomic_hugetlb checks the size).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
