[PATCH v2 02/20] xen: Introduce a function to split a Linux page into Xen page

The Xen interface is always using 4KB page. This means that a Linux page
may be split across multiple Xen page when the page granularity is not
the same.

This helper will break down a Linux page into 4KB chunk and call the
helper on each of them.
