ksm: identify PageKsm pages
KSM will need to identify its kernel merged pages unambiguously, and /proc/kpageflags will probably like to do so too. Since KSM will only be substituting anonymous pages, statistics are best preserved by making a PageKsm page a special PageAnon page: one with no anon_vma. But KSM then needs its own page_add_ksm_rmap() - keep it in ksm.h near PageKsm; and do_wp_page() must COW them, unlike singly mapped PageAnons.
