powerpc/pseries: CMO unused page hinting
Adds support for the "unused" page hint which can be used in shared
memory partitions to flag pages not in use, which will then be stolen
before active pages by the hypervisor when memory needs to be moved to
LPARs in need of additional memory. Failure to mark pages as 'unused'
makes the LPAR slower to give up unused memory to other partitions.
This adds the kernel parameter 'cmo_free_hint' to disable this
functionality.
