[PATCH v2 1/5] Add support for splitblock

[Zhou Wenjian]

When --split option is specified, fair I/O workloads shoud be assigned
for each process. So the start and end pfn of each dumpfile should be
calculated with excluding unnecessary pages. However, it costs a lot of
time to execute excluding for the whole memory. That is why struct
SplitBlock exists. Struct SplitBlock is designed to manage memory, mainly
for recording the number of dumpable pages. We can use the number of
dumpable pages to calculate start and end pfn instead of execute excluding
for the whole memory.

The char array *table in struct SplitBlock is used to record the number of
dumpable pages.
The table entry size is calculated as
			divideup(log2(splitblock_size / page_size), 8) bytes
The table entry size is calculated, so that the
space table taken will be small enough. And the code will also have a
good performence when the number of pages in one splitblock is big enough.
